Hi,
I've just installed SmcFanController on my Macbook because its running a little hot. If you don't know what it is, its a piece of software that allows you to control the speed of the fans enabling you to cool the processor down if it is overheating.
I have a few concerns about it though. As far as I am concerned, the fans are set to specific parameters which are scheduled to activate on particular actions. Do people think that the software could adversely affect the fans if it is run too much. I currently have the fan running at 2700 RPM and am a little reluctant to increase the speed as I am worried it will overload the hardware.
I've searched the internet to see if anyone has had any hardware problems after installing this piece of software and I haven't found much yet. Any thoughts are welcome...
