I even tried setting the lower threshold stupidly high (e.g.: 80вњ¬), but the fans immediately start spinning even if temps are still at 40вњ¬.Apple takes great strides to ensure that your Mac thermals run well within the hardware specifications automatically without consumer intervention. They're so quiet I can't even hear them, but I'm concerned that they'll wear out much fasterВ if they're now spinning all day long vs just a few minutes a day like before. In other words, as soon as I change from 'Auto' to Custom, fans will start spinning right away even before any kind of threshold has been reached. Unfortunately, regardless of the thresholds I set, the fans will start spinning slowly even when the temps are well below them (e.g.: at 40вњ¬). I'm trying to keep the fans off (like they do by default) until the GPU/CPU reachesВ 60вњ¬, then spin them up at max speed when it exceeds 80вњ¬. However, there's something I can't figure out when trying to automate this: which keeps the GPU and CPU at a comfortable 60-70вњ¬ at the cost of making a bit of noise (as I would expect from any normal laptop). Like you, I also downloaded Macs Fan Control and I'm just setting the fans to max speed whenever I play a 3D match. I know this is not a gaming laptop but I do like to play a bit of Football Manager from time to time to kill time, and I'm noticing that the laptop gets stupidly hot (90вњ¬+) during 3D matches while the fans just sit there doing nothing.

I recently got a new MBP 13', with Iris Plus graphics, and I'm experiencing exactly the same issue. Hey, sorry to bring back such an old topic. You can select the fan and sensor to monitor and it will look like this: The settings for that are in the preferences: I also recommend setting it to display the temp and fan speed in the menu bar so you can keeep an eye on temperatures and fan speed. again if you have a Mac with a dGPU using a program like this is more complicated because you have to make sure the gpu is covered as well, but again, i don't have that problem.

i set mine to 50, and the second temperature is the max, so at that temperature the fans will be running at full speed. The first temperature is the one where it starts to ramp up the fans, so the start of the fancurve. I just used the CPU temp and set it to temperatures i'm comfortable with. When you click the setting to configure it you will see something like this: Mine is already set up, yours will be set to 'auto'.

When you first install it you will see something like this: The program i'm gonna feature in this guide is Macs Fan Control - Д«EFORE PROCEEDING: NEITHER ME OR THE DEVELOPER OF THE PROGRAMВ IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR MACHINE IF YOU CONFIGURE THE PROGRAM WRONG.Д«Y PROCEEDING YOU AGREE TO THESE DISCLAIMERS my Mac is LONG out of warranty so that's not a concern to me.

i don't have that problem since i have a 13', and i would recommend watching the temperatures very closelyВ if using it on a 15' or 16' MBP.ДЄlso i'm not sure how apple does things with warranty and stuff if you use an app like this.

there is nothing stopping you for example to set up a 15' or 16' MacBook Pro to only ramp up the fans if the cpu is hot, but then you completely ignore the dGPU. it's designers say that you should only use it if you know what you're doing, for good reason. Now, there are a few issues with the app i'm goingВ to show you.

Happily however there are apps that can help you set a custom fan curve. this is bad for obvious reasons, it's gonna cause the machine to fail sooner, and it's just straignt up uncomfortably hot around the keyboard and especially the bottom, i was scared it was gonna melt the plastic case i have on my laptopВ when i first got it.

My MacBook Pro on the stock fancurve doesn't ramp up the fan until it gets to 95 degrees, and i've seen it hold steady at 99 degrees. We all know Apple runs all computers in their line-up waaay too hot to be comfortable.
