Hello, I've read some articles about the fan speed control in newer Macbooks Ok, mostly speculative articles in forums... but let's ignore that.
>From Wikipedia: The new firmware is also different in that it responds to both CPU usage and temperature, rather than temperature alone. This allows the cooling fans to become active before the temperature gets a chance to reach undesirable levels. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacBook) That let me think the fan speed can be controlled by a script which reads temperature, CPU usage. The automatic mode seems to be a little bit more conservative. Maybe we can get some statistics how the Apple-Firmware sets the fan speed if we can monitor CPU usage, fan speed and temperature. Does anyone know a tool for MacOS which we could use?
