[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1146498"] I'm hesitant to correct cwa107, but if I understand what you (derfel) said correctly, then YES forcing the fans to run SLOWER than they want to run automatically CAN IN FACT do a great deal of damage to your machine. Using a fan control program to make the fans run MORE than they want to by default would wear them out prematurely as cwa107 suggests. Bottom line: 1. Apple designed the machine, and designed it to cool itself appropriately. Fan control programs aren't needed -- and if used inappropriately can ruin your computer. 2. If you're taxing the processor, the fans will run a lot. There's no getting around that. 3. If you're watching videos using a web browser, there are plug-ins for Safari and FF that will substitute the less-intensive HTML5 player for the Flash player wherever possible, but you're still going to run into flash video and its still going to make the fans run from time to time. There's no (fully) getting around that. [/QUOTE]
