I did a Delete of “Macs Fan Control” using App Cleaner. I decided to delete everything except iStat Menus, which I paid for and have been using for about a decade with never a problem. I was convinced that I was lucky to have this app to control the fan speed to keep my computer running cooler! After some discussion here with folks I became suspicious of this app and another named “TG Pro “. No settings we’re set in The apps configurations for boosting fan speed but, all set to System control for fans.įor weeks I thought something was seriously wrong and got some feedback that there was an overheating problem with Big Sur in the newer iMac, and I had recently vacuumed the ports for dust on the two older iMac’s. My normal fan rpm’s on all three devices were in the upper 900’s to 1200’s, yet even in idle mode doing nothing except changing desktop pictures or screensaver pictures the fans were racing audibly in the 2000’s to 3000’s RPM, Temperature to fluctuate from the high 50s to the mid 90☌ to the mid 90☌temperature to fluctuate from the high 50s to the mid 90☌!. Warning ⚠️ Badware Recommended by Many! This is my testimony and experience with an App from a developer named Crystalidea, which is a PC based developer, except for this one app named “Macs Fan Control”, and recommend, after a several week experience of spurious very high temperatures exceeding 92☌ causing three different iMac’s to shut down automatically and restart, and giving me an Apple notice to send to Apple concerning a Panic Event! Do NOT download and install on your macOS computer, is only my opinion and Experience.Īfter installing and using Cyrstalidea’s App “Macs Fan Control” for several weeks, I was able to consistently and repeatedly on three different iMac’s (2011 iMac, 2014 iMac, 2020 iMac, all 27 inch), caused all three to overheat receiving Numerous warning numerous warningnumerous warnings notices from iStat Menus of temperatures Exceeding more mor than 92☌ for over 10 seconds, causing all three to shut down and restart, as set in system preferences. Could using istat menus have caused this? Thanks in advance! There was no error message or anything, the game just froze for 30 seconds or so then the screen went black and the computer turned on again. The computer randomly restarted mid-game. However, something happened that has never happened before. When I was playing Roblox again today, the computer felt hot to the touch and the fans were blowing at full speed (nothing unusual when under high loads). (fan speed seems to operate at appropriate speed for the task I am performing on my device) However, one thing did happen just today. Is it possible that this program might have somehow changed the smc settings? While I have not noticed anything to far outside of the ordinary. (I know this is incredibly excessive) However, this leads me to my main question. However, I was still paranoid that the program might of somehow changed the default smc settings so I decided to reinstall the OS. I only used this program to monitor the temps, I did not use it to change any of the fan speeds. So I decided to download a program called istat menus. Okay so yesterday I was playing Roblox and I noticed that my computer was fairly hot.
