I've used SMCFanControl for years, but when I did a fresh install of Yosemite, it behaved really wonky. You can try resetting the SMC on your Mac, as that is what controls the fans and what (unsurprisingly) SMCFanControl alters to do its work. Best Result For: smc fan control mac os x 10.6.8.

(10.9 MB) Please: this item is free and unsupported — don't expect support About Fan Control Fan Control will automatically adjust the speed of the fan(s) in your Mac, based upon the temperature of critical components within your system. The objective is to help extend the life of components within your Mac while also helping to minimize the noise generated by your system's fans. Fan Control has various settings which allow you to configure how Fan Control operates. Fan Control is installed as a preference pane and, optionally, is installed in the Applications folder. Open the Fan Control preference pane (in System Preferences) to adjust your Fan Control settings. Fan Control Improvements. In your menu bar, click on the BitBar entry for Fan Control (the one with the ♨ hot air rising?

symbol beside it) and configure to suit your needs. If you already had BitBar installed, FanControl's plugin file was installed in your existing BitBar's plugin folder and, if BitBar was not located in the Applications folder, then you should trash the newly installed (and unused) BitBar folder in the Applications folder. You may also need to select BitBar's 'Preferences - Refresh all' menu and/or (re)launch BitBar to activate the Fan Control plugin immediately after the install. Note that the BitBar application folder (/Applications/BitBar) can be moved to any location you prefer (after which, it'll ask you for the new plugin-folder location.
Which, by default, is the PlugIns folder inside the BitBar application folder). When adjusting fan speeds, Fan Control asks the operating system to run the fan(s) at certain speed(s). The 'Lower Temp Threshold' setting defines the lowest temperature at which Fan Control may start requesting increased fan speed(s) to help reduce temperatures. The 'Upper Temp Threshold' setting defines the temperature by which Fan Control will be requesting the maximum fan speed(s). For each fan in the system:. the 'Min. Fan Speed' setting defines the slowest speed Fan Control will request for each fan.
'Fan Speeds: Max.' Shows the maximum fan speed allowed for the fan, as reported by the Operating System. 'Fan Speeds: Wanted' shows the fan speed that Fan Control has requested and is presented as the circle on the graph. 'Fan Speeds: Current' shows the current fan speed (and its percentage of maximum RPM) as reported by the Operating System and is presented as the horizontal line on the graph 'Current Temperatures' shows the highest CPU-related and GPU-related temperatures from the collection of CPU/GPU temperature sensors that Fan Control monitors for that system. Fan Control determines (what it considers to be) the most applicable collection of CPU-related and GPU-related temperature sensors then, every 3 seconds, determines the highest temperature from both of those collections. Fan Control uses the highest of the shown CPU/GPU-related temperatures, represented by the vertical line on the graph, to compute the requested the fan speed(s) according to the User's slider/preference settings.
Fan-speed requests are designed to keep each fan's 'Wanted' fan speed within 25 RPM of the sloped line on the graph. The original version of Fan Control was created by in about 2008 and it's still be best design of any of the fan-controlling software! This version of Fan Control updates and enhances the Lobotomo work.
