[QUOTE="traded, post: 821220, member: 22746"] Thank you D3v1L80Y and cwa107. I, however, respectfully disagree. I think equating overclocking a cpu or gpu is an entirely different issue than increasing the baseline fan rpm. Overclocking is potentially very dangerous (obviously, i don't need to tell you) as it can lead to overheating and other problems whereas increasing the fan rpm has only increased wear as a potential problem. I guess I [I]am[/I] second guessing the apple engineers but its really a difference of opinion on how we balance noise and heat. I am more than happy to live with a little more fan noise to keep my system cooler. Additionally, I bet that if fan control was truly damaging that it would void the warranty. [/QUOTE]
