STICKY! THE Ultimate Self Cooling solution for MBP.(no accessory needed)
GOOD NEWS FOR ALL YOU MBP owners, finally we get a self cooling solution. No more heat, no more burns.
My MBP's regular temperature drops from 60+ Celcius to around 40C, and under 200% CPU Usage(with yes > /dev/null), it's still under 60C(before was about 80C).
Here we go:
http://www.mediamax.com/tom500/Hosted/smc-0.01.tar.bz2
This is a software controller for the SMC(System Management Control).
download this file, extract it, and execute the following command:
./smc -k F0Mn -w 2ee0
./smc -k F1Mn -w 2ee0
F0Mn means minimum fan speed for Fan 0, F1Mn for Fan 1. 2ee0 corresponds to 3000 in decimal. convert your target speed by(execute it in terminal):
python -c "print hex(3000 << 2)"
for example, to set to 6000(the maximum fan speed) for both fans:
# python -c "print hex(6000 << 2)"
0x5dc0
# sudo smc -k F0Mn -w 5dc0
# sudo smc -k F1Mn -w 5dc0
Enjoy !
P.S. put these commands at the end of your /etc/rc, so that it will be executed everytime on boot.
