[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1600528, member: 56379"] I agree with you.:) I agree with you again.:) But we will always have new users who won't be privy to all of the threads we have responded to in the past regarding temp. concerns. So more than likely…we will need to continue to respond to theses threads. And I mostly agree with you a 3rd time.:) I don't think that the fan control apps are very useful. But occasionally they can be handy. Especially with iMac's in the 2009-2011 timeframe that have proprietary hard drive setups…where Apple made it very difficult to replace standard 3.5" HD's when the go kaput. This was one of my points of posting this thread. "Temperature Monitor" was still free. And when we get new or existing members with a temp question…or possibly an issue related to temps (like a dirty machine or a faulty fan). It's nice to be able to point folks to a free temp. app. that they can install…then post for us the data…so we can help them solve or understand the problem.:) Without "Temperature Monitor" (or other free apps like it)…we have fewer & fewer tools at our disposal to help folks with. I also don't feel that there are "plenty if alternatives"…and certainly not "plenty" of FREE alternatives. Even the example you gave now costs money. Maybe some folks feel that Temperature Monitor (and apps like it) are not useful or necessary. I'm betting that many many more folks do find it is a useful app…and if it's also free…that's win-win for us users.:) "Knowledge is Power". Knowing what the computers temp is can be useful. If a computer is working 100% fine…sure…a temp. app is not needed. Just like if a: - television is working fine - automobile is working fine - refrigerator is working fine - home heating system is working fine - etc. It's when things start going south (not working fine) is when it's nice to have some diagnostic tools.:) The main reason why I posted this thread was not for someone to jump all over it in a negative way…saying it's an unnecessary app…and that no one should ever have to be concerned about the temp of their Apple computer. I posted the thread because I thought that it was sad for a nice useful app. to go away (yes I happen to think that it's a useful app).:) If the link or quote above is read…the developer explains that Apple is doing things with the Mac OS & the Apple hardware making it difficult for the further development of Temperature Monitor to continue. This is one of the few app. developers that for years & years…has provided us with a very useful app for free….and now it's going away…and not because the developer didn't want to continue developing it…or didn't want to continue to provide it for free. - Nick [/QUOTE]
