This FAN control update was done to deal with XP and VISTA heat issues. Highly recommend it for the serious gamer!įirst of all, on all newer MACs, the fan control is done by the BIOS when under Bootcamp, provided you do all the OS.X updates.
It stayed cool and ran the game normally.
I just tried it out by running a game I have that heats up my CPU very quickly. Loads up on startup and minimizes to the system tray. The application is called "RightMark CPU Clock Utility" and can be downloaded from here: I found a nice one that not only controls temps, but it also monitors CPU/OS usage, can control CPU voltage (thereby controlling temperature) and lots more. Normal Fan speed for the MacBook is 1800 RPM but when you reboot into WinXP or Vista, supposedly it drops to 1000 RPM and doesn't speed up unless the CPU starts to get hot.Īnyway, it would be nice to have a free app to control CPU temperature while in Windows. Some folks say it works, others say differently. SMCFanControl has been reported to work somewhat when set in OS X and then a reboot to WinXP or Vista without turning off the machine. This seems to happen more often when playing games. I've been reading posts in various Mac forums about overheating when running CPU intensive apps while using Boot Camp.
