This is NOT a generic tool for Mac fan control. It will limit the fan maximum speed, which may cause overheating, crashes or damage to the computer. This is a special tool for certain old Mac Minis (~2008) that have a noisy fan after memory upgrade. See for example this: http://nanchatte.wordpress.com/2009/04/20/solution-to-the-noisy-fans-on-a-core-2-duo-intel-mac-mini/ Tool will limit the maximum speed according to cpu temperature. The limiting is done in steps with some hysteresis to avoid countinuous adjusting. Temperature limits are hardcoded in code. Code is based on smcFanControl (http://www.eidac.de/). See README.smc for original README. Install ======= * Test the tool sudo ./fantune Set Speed: 2000 (0) Temp: 55 (0) Class: 1 F0Mx [fpe2] 1800 (bytes 1c 20) F0Mx [fpe2] 2000 (bytes 1f 40) * Copy the tool to /usr/local/bin sudo cp fantune /usr/local/bin * Copy launchd configuration sudo cp dungeon.fantune.plist /Library/LaunchDaemons/ * Start (or reboot) launchctl start dungeon.fantune
