[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1536802, member: 24160"] Coming from a hardcore overclocker background when I got my first Mac - I watched the fans and temps for quite awhile - and used SMCFanControl. Ultimately I gave it up after watching my MBP sit at 90+ for 4-8 hours at a time. That MBP is now 7 years old and still going. I no longer use a 3rd party app to work around the design of the machine and don't recommend it. There are some others here that do use it. For those that want to use a fancontrol - I'd say don't use it all the time. If you want to start it up and maintain a minimum fan speed when you start up a game or doing some video encoding, etc. that's CPU/GPU intensive - don't see that as a problem. If you do have to replace a fan down the road (like maybe 4-6 yrs) - it's really not that big a deal and not that expensive - cost me $20 a couple months ago to replace one in my wife's MB. [/QUOTE]
