forums.macrumors.com— Rokem modified some .kext files to make Macbook Pro's fans run faster. It makes the machine 40?f-50?f cooler! Only 5-10 mins battery life shorter!

Hmm.. Seems I have a dead fan in my MBP. Fan #0: Actual speed : 3500 Minimum speed: 1000 Maximum speed: 6000 Safe speed : 1200 Target speed : 3500 Mode : forcedFan #1: Actual speed : 0 Minimum speed: 1000 Maximum speed: 6000 Safe speed : 1200 Target speed : 3500 Mode : forcedThat actual speed of "0" on Fan #1 makes me think something is wrong. Guess it's time to get that fixed, along with the whine I've dealt with since April.
wow i had no clue so many people would get so pissed off at me for not getting temp conversions right. And yes i am from America so i use ˚F and tried to be nice to everyone else in the world by trying to making it easier on you. Oh yeah don't trust Google, it screws with ya.
>We do (Americans)No we (Americans) don't.We (Americans) use the appropriate scale for the appropriate circumstance.At least that is what intelligent Americans do.Every major computer and component manufacturer in the world use Celsius. Including Apple, Dell, HP, Intel, Nvidia, AMD, etc.That's like saying "we Americans don't program in C++, we just shout at the machine what to do in our native tongue and hope it does what we want".Such logic is imbecilic. It's not an "American" or "Non-American" issue. It is a computer hardware issue. Hardware temperatures are measured in C, by the labs, fabs, and manufacturers.Here, there, and everywhere.In Tennessee or Taiwan, temps are monitored in C.If you are going to talk computer hardware, do yourself a favor, and drop the "in an Ameerrrrrcan, and we say it like THIS" bulls**t, because you are just going to confuse yourself and others for no appreciable reason.If you are going to monitor your hardware, and discuss it, it would help immensely if you used standard terminology instead of taking a principled stand that serves no purpose.

You're an assh**e for thinking the whole world should change because you use some nutty f**king system called metric...

I agree. The 3500 RPM script doesn't create much noise at all. You start to notice the fans at 4000 RPM and higher.

theirs an easy way to control the fans on macbook pro, check it out<a class="user" href="http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=680067&tstart=0">http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=680067&tstart=0</a>its great.command line app to see the rpm limits and change the lowest settings, helped me with my problem, this is the best
