In another post http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/apple-notebooks/86476-constant-fan.html I was discussing an issue I'm having where I have a bad temp sensor that is part of the logicboard on an older macbook pro. While I'm looking for cheap refurbished boards and possibly repair of my existing logic board, it got me wondering if there is software that someone has created that lets me have TOTAL control of the fan speed. I know it would be dangerous, but I could be pretty diligent about keeping an eye on things and it 'seems' like even though one of the temp sensors is broken (one near the HD), the sensor does still seem to record temperatures to istat menu temp gauges, so it's possible just the relay to the fan part of the sensor is broken. This means as long as I watch temp gauges on cpu, etc. I can manually bump up temps using whatever software I get.
I'd need something more hardcore than smcFancontrol since for safety reasons they make sure factory defaults always kick in meaning I don't have full fan control.
