27" hot at the top. FAN Control Software??

I've heard the fans on this thing go really high during startup. Is there any software I can download to have fun control over my fans in my 27"?

I like http://www.lobotomo.com/products/FanControl/index.html as it is more complicated than FanControl.

  • Fan Control Software

    I am trying to install the new version of SMC Fancontrol on my Intel Santa Rosa MBP. When i try installing it tells me that there can be no other fan control software running. My question is how do I turn off the existing software, and/or what am I doing wrong. I want to be able to turn up the fans whenever I need to do model and image rendering.
    Thanks a lot.

    It should do that automatically depending on how hot it gets.
    If it doesn't do this run a hardware test to see if there are fan or sensor problems.
    As for the SMC fancontrol problem, no clue, maybe email the developer.

  • Itouch 4g in facetime got really hot at the top and then the screen changed to a very light blue.  I restored it and checked for updates, but the screen is still messed up and the itouch gets very hot.  This came on very fast.

    Can't get the screen back to normal mode after restoring it, and it still gets very hot at the top when using it in any mode.  Any suggestions?

  • Fan Controlling Software Issues with K8N-Neo4-F

    My mobo is a K8N Neo4-F 3.0.
    1. Is there anyway to control the Northbridge and System fan using Speedfan? I searched so far without any solutions.
    2. I tried MSI Corecenter for a while (the last version), and it triggers the alarms and atempts to shut down the system without any visible reason everytime the PC comes backs from hibernation. I have the latest BIOS and latest drivers on my PC. What could be wrong?

    It could be the sensor is bad on the system fan or the header itself. Is it possible for the wire from the NBFAN1 to reach the CPUFAN1 and the wire from the CPUFAN1 to reach the NBFAN1?  That way we could test to see if it's the fan or MOBO header? I'm not sure this is possible, but it occurred to me as a test.  According to the manual, both headers have the same configuration and 12V feed. I think the amp specs are the same for both headers(someone that is better with electronics should speak up here). Make sure you have the CPU fan set to 100% or whatever as I'm not sure if the NB fan can or should be speed adjusted.
    According to page 2-16 of your manual, it only mentions control of the CPUFAN1 header:
    Quote
    Fan Power Connectors: CPUFAN1 / SFAN1 / SFAN2 / NBFAN1
    The CPUFAN1 (processor fan), SFAN1 (system fan 1), SFAN2 (system fan 2) and
    NBFAN1 (NorthBridge Chipset fan) support system cooling fan with +12V. It supports
    three-pin head connector. When connecting the wire to the connectors, always take
    note that the red wire is the positive and should be connected to the +12V, the black
    wire is Ground and should be connected to GND. If the mainboard has a System
    Hardware Monitor chipset on-board, you must use a specially designed fan with
    speed sensor to take advantage of the CPU fan control.
    MSI Reminds You...
    1. Always consult the vendors for proper CPU cooling fan.
    2. CPUFAN1 supports fan control. You can install Core Center utility
    that will automatically control the CPU fan speed according to
    the actual CPU temperature.
    3. Please refer to the recommended CPU fans at AMD® official
    website.
    But, In addition to finding out about this issue, I can't stress enough about getting a better PSU.

  • GS70 2QE (970m)- Any Fan control software?

    I am looking for a Fan control utility that will work for the GS70 2QE, This is a brand new laptop of the latest generation.
    I would like to turn the fan speed up manually during heavy computing loads to avoid the bouncing of the CPU clock due to thermal scaling. (Cools down, clocks up, gets hot, clocks down).

    Every account you set up can be localized in a different language if you want.  So you can have yours in Itallian and your son's in English.  The language is determined by what is at the top of the list in system prefs/language & text/language.  You just drag the one you want there and logout/login.

  • PowerBook fan control software?

    I know of this software for controlling MacBook and MBP fan speed:
    http://81.169.182.62/~eidac/software/page5/page5.html
    but it is Intel specific. is there something similar for PowerBooks, specifically the second to last 17" model?

    As far as I can tell, no, there isn't. I've searched and haven't found any.
    Actually, if you keep your PB on a cooling platform.....I use this: http://roadtools.com/) whenever using it, your PB should virtually never overheat. I've been using Temperature Monitor: http://bresink.com/osx/TemperatureMonitor.html and, currently, Hardware Monitor: http://bresink.com/osx/HardwareMonitor.html for the past couple of years and have NEVER seen my PB go beyond 142 degrees F.
    The left fan cuts in when the PB's temp reaches about 140 F and deactivates when the temp drops to around 130 F.
    The right fan will activate only if the PB's temp reaches critically high levels, perhaps 160F, but it's never activated since my PB has never even come close to critical temp.

  • My iPod touch 4th generation is very hot at the top.... why

    This is  when I use it for about 5 minutes, after using it for a bit of wifi browsing, playing withs apps (that do not use a lot of memory or are do not use CPU and GPU0 and using my iPod to listen to music. I don't use my iPod straight after charging so that is not the problem. I tell you that it is so hot that you could fry an egg on it, it is at the tope of the device you can feel the heat and you can feel it on the front and on the back. Please help! It is in very good condition because it has had a case on it ever since I got it, it is still in warranty. What should I do? How much will it cost? How long will take?

    it is better that you get your iPod get checked by an Apple technician!!!
    because i think this problem is serious. My iPod 4G doesnot get that hot after the extensive use u have mentioned!!!

  • Fan Control Software for iMac G5

    do you know any software that makes me able to control the fans of my imac. I want to change the speed of my fans.

    You can control the fan speed to a certain extent by going to system prefs>energy saver>options>processor perfromance and selecting "reduced". This should slow your fan speed down, but I am not aware of any software program that will contriol your fans speed. It wouldn't be a good idea anyway to interfere with the settings the machine selects for itself, the iMac is very sensitive to heat and shouldn't have fan hacks.

  • What product in Creative Cloud is the top cartoon maker software?

    Can I gently ask for a piece of advice about what software application to use in the Adobe suite to create cartoons, After Effects? Is there any one that could also guestimate any learning curve range here that would be awesome.
    Thank you

    Another Adobe Software that you could use to make cartoons is Adobe Flash in conjunction with After Effects and Premiere Pro. It´s a long trip since you need export your files as .mov, but it works fine for me. It depends on the style you are looking for.
    This one was created in Flash and finished in Premiere Pro with Audition:

  • My laptop becomes extremely hot in the top left hand corner of the keyboard under the on/off switch.

    The underside of the laptop becomes very hot soon after start up and does not cool down while in use. This makes it impossible to use as a 'laptop'. I am concerned that it is also causing damage.
    Please let me know what needs to be done to resolve this.

  • User-devel​oped Fan Control for the S10(e)

    Hello and welcome.
    When you've searched the internet and found this thread, it's possible that you are an owner of a Lenovo Ideapad S10 or S10e which has a little problem with the behaviour and/or the noise of the fan. In this post you will get all the informations you need to handle this problem for yourself. It should also be the same on every S9/S9e.
    Just a few comments before we begin:
    This is not an official support or solution by Lenovo.
    We are just normal users as you are, but we get rid of the fan and wanted to find a way to handle it. So if you want to try anything of the methods described here you have to know that you'll do all this only at your own risk. We are not responsible for any damages of your device. You should only use these methods if you know what you are doing.
    Please note that this thread is only for discussing, improving, trouble shooting and perhaps extending the fan control utilities. Any general complaints about the fan problem itself should be placed in the original thread right here: http://forums.lenovo.com/lnv/board/message?board.i​d=IdeaPad_Netbook&thread.id=795. It already has 80+ pages (the link goes to the first page) and it is better to exclude all the fan control stuff because there it's very difficult to keep an overview.
    Here you may post all of your questions, ideas/brainstorming, concerns, thanks and so on and you are really invited to participate and be an active member. 
    In this first part of this post I'm going to summarize all information about using a fan control utility. For any newbie it will be enough to read this post to get all necessary information. The second part does the same for developement of fan control utilities as we still have no known or working fan control utility for Linux, Mac OS X and other OSs I've forgotten - for now.
    For getting started you need a S10 or S10e with an up-to-date BIOS. For the S10 it's the 90 67, for the S10e the 66.
    The battery issue
    Under very specific circumstances - that we haven't figured out yet - it might happen that your Lenovo S9/10(e) no longer detects the battery while using S10FanControl or S10Fan. It might occur after 2 minutes, it might occur after 2 months, it might never occur. It does not occur using Notebook Hardware Control.
    It can be solved by removing the battery, waiting 10 seconds and put it back in. Then the battery is re-initialized and the detection works again.
    S10FanControl - Windows
    The first utility is S10FanControl created by user dresslerc. The current version is 1.0.0.1, available here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/yd5xmnrnijf/S10FanCt​rl1.0.0.1.zip. After you've downloaded it you just have to extract it and start the .EXE in the "Release" folder. Here are the notes and the description dresslerc posted right here:
    Everyone,
    I've uploaded a version which everyone can use to test with.  Remember this is still a TEST version although I think it works for the most part.  It should work both on the S10/S10e.
    Please install the .NET Framework 2.0 or later first.
    Then click here to download the exe:  http://www.mediafire.com/?jlg2enkjdxn
    Once downloaded, extract the files and hit hte S10FanCtrl.Exe.  Once this program launches you should be able to control the fan.  Keep in mind that if you lower the fan speed then it'll take upto 30 seconds before the S10 registers the change, so be patient.
    I've only tested this on the latest BIOS 59.  I am sure it will work on the 57 as well but the individual speeds might not work properly on that version.  Please try it out and report back.
    The only issue that I heard so far is that occasionally the fan will kick in regardless if in Manual/Smart Mode.  Also the temp it shows may not be accurate.  If you find any other issues please let me know what they are so I can attempt to fix them.
    Once we have all the kinks worked out then I will release the source. 
    Heres a quick Video:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PKl70ZgmFg 
    REMEMBER: USE PROGRAM AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES THIS PROGRAM MIGHT CAUSE.
    Application Use:
    BIOS Controlled - Fan is controlled by the BIOS
    Smart Mode - Fan is controlled based on the conifguration in the options.  You can set the threshold here at what temp you want the fan to kick in...
    Manual - Fan is controlled manually by the slider.
    If you want to have the program startup automatically, then place a shortcut of the app in the PROGRAM FILES -> STARTUP folder.  Then you may want to go to the options and make the application minimize at startup.
    Edit:
    It seems there are some issues with the app and the S10e or previous BIOS versions.  Will post a fix asap.
    The source code for S10FanControl is available here: http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=7a3fb99d33817c0​8c2b435915e8821d7e04e75f6e8ebb871, written in Visual Basic .NET 2008.
    S10Fan - Windows
    The second utility is a tool written by user slash:
    Hi guys,
    Well it looks like Lenovo dropped this matter after all. Anyway, I have here another fan controller to add to the bunch. I have been using it for some time now without any problems. It is for both S10 and S10e.
    What the program does is basically the same as others. The S10's fan speed is controlled according to the ACPI thermal zone temperature. By over writing the values which resides at offset 50h of the EC register at an appropriate timing, the ACPI thermal zone temperature is over ridden. The program is written in C and uses WinIo created by Sysinternals. The GUI version is available now.
    It should be noted that the fan speed temperature thresholds differs with BIOS version. For 14CN67WW and 14CW90WW  the fan changes speed at temperatures 60c, 65c, 70c, and 80c. Furthermore, the BIOS will automatically shutdown the S10 if the temperature reaches 90c.
    The program has a fail safe mechanism that automatically disables itself if the actual ACPI thermal zone temperature goes above 85c. This allows the BIOS to regain control and the fan will work as intended by Lenovo. If the temperature drops below 85c the program will take over control again.
    To run the program, you will need administrative privileges.
    Known working BIOS versions:  14cn58ww,  14cn60ww, 14cn67ww, 14cn90ww
    The program will work with any BIOS version as long as the BIOS uses the 50h EC register readouts to control the fan.
    build 2009.05.24
    Higher priorities for EC commands.
    Usage: The program will run in the system tray. Double click or right click and use the menu to open the program. To determine the BIOS temperature thresholds, use the 'Setup' button. To run at boot time, place a short cut in the startup folder.
    http://www.mediafire.com/file/njhz0icym2t/S10Fan.z​ip build 2009.05.23

    The first 4 values are the BIOS temperature thresholds, the latter 4 are new thresholds that we want to over ride with. To determine the BIOS temperature thresholds, use the 'test' option.

    Notebook Hardware Control - Windows
    The third utility is a profile for Notebook Hardware Control. I've adapted it from a profile for the Lenovo N500 which I've found here: http://nhc.yourcopy.de/overview/. With the manual for creating the profiles that can be found here: http://www.notebook-treff.de/board/database/hilfsp​rogramme-f%C3%BCr-nhc/92-how-to-create-an-acpi-fil​... I was able to change the ACPI commands to work on the S10(e).
    Installation and setup is divided in two steps. The program Notebook Hardware Control (NHC) is available at http://www.pbus-167.com/. Install the program, but do not start it for now. Then you need my NHCConfig utility, available here: http://forum.eeepcnews.de/download/file.php?id=147​6. It detects your model number and BIOS-version via WMI and writes a proper S10(e) profile to the NHC acpi directory. The GUI is German if you have a German Windows and English if not. Additional languages can be added.
    After you've extracted the ZIP-file you have to start the nhcc.exe (requires .NET Framework 2.0). At first a message appears that you use the program at your own risk. Then you can choose if you want to apply your own settings (experts) or if you just want the program to run with my defaults (newbies). In the settings window you can see your system details on the left, you can set up your thresholds in the middle and you can set the fan speed you want on the right. Then click on execute. 
    Now start NHC. Go to the "Settings" tab and click on "Show all NHC options and settings". Then a few more tabs appear. Go to the "ACPI" tab and check if the "ACPI Control System" is running (if everything works, the message "ACPI Control System running" will appear, otherwise it says "ACPI control system is not yet configured for this system"). Now click on "Show ACPI Control System details".
    Here you can change the temperature values the fan control depends on (the settings from NHCC are the default values). On the bottom of the window you can see the "Current CPU temperature". That is the value you have to deal with. In general it has a value of around 60°C. In the middle you can see four user editable temperature values. You can leave the values as they are if everything works. The on/off values are responsible for the temperatures at which the fan starts running and stops again after cooling the device. The level values are responsible for the fan speed, for example you can set the off_level higher to let the fan run all the time at the lowest level, if the values do not fit for your device or whatever.
    You can switch between NHC and BIOS control by disabling or enabling the "ACPI Control System" or by closing NHC.
    Q:
    A:
    With every utility it is possible that it takes some time until you see an effect after you've started the program. Any failure of the programs should be no big problem because the only thing that should happen is that the BIOS controls the fan. Another issue that might occur due to the way the fan is controlled is that the fan may start running for a very short time and it looks like the fan control has lost control. The fan should stop immediately or at least after a few seconds.
    Keep in mind that running the S10(e) with a fan control means that the S10(e) has to deal with higher temperatures. That could mean that the device will not last for 10 years but only 9 years (who uses a netbook so long...?). In every case you need a tool for monitoring your cpu temperature. We know that especially Core Temp 0.99.5 and Real Temp 3.00 do a very good job. That is important because the temperature values you need to set up the fan control are different from the values reported by the cpu sensor, they are between 15°C and 20°C higher. A normal temperature reported by the monitoring should be around 40°C, with the NHC default values the fan starts running at 52°C and stops at 38°C.

    Q:
    A:
    END using fan control
    BEGINNING developing fan control
    Controlling the S10(e)'s fan is a litte bit difficult because it looks like there is no way to control it directly. But it is possible to manipulate the temperature the BIOS fan control depends on. As long as the built-in fan control thinks that the cpu is cool enough the fan stays off. And that is exactly the point where we can attack.
    The fan control depends on a field called RTMP in the memory of the embedded controller. It can be accessed via "_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC0.ERAM", the offset of RTMP is 0x50 (hex) or 80 (dec). It is a direct I/O read/write. The complete NHC command for reading the value is: ACPI.FIELD.ReadByOffset("_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC0.ERAM", ref value, 0x50, 8) with "value" as the variable which gets the value.
    What program logic do you need? You need a timer or something else that conducts an always-refresh cycle. It sounds very easy: You read the value, manipulate it and write it back. And it is that easy, you just have to keep some things in mind.
    This refresh has to be done very often. The procedure must be very thin and quick. Also the bus that is used to communicate with the EC is a problem, but since the S10e BIOS 66 it became a minor problem for me because it looks like the built-in fan control now depends on some kind of average value over the last few seconds and it doesn't really matter if one write-cycle is failing.
    The read-event must be placed before the write-event. Otherwise you just read your manipulated value. The field is filled by the system regularly, so you just have to test if the read_value is different from the written_value, then you know that the field was filled with a "fresh" value. Like "if read_temperatue <> written_temperature then real_cpu_temperature = read_temperature else do nothing".
    About the values you have to write back... you will have to test and play a bit. My experience is that you can select three fan levels, starting at 59°, 62° and 70° - at least with the NHC profile and my S10e it's like that. It's some trial 'n' error. My fan stays off at < 59°, but you should select a very low value for fan_off like 30°. In my opinion it switches off much faster the lower the written value is. But it's just a feeling, I haven't measured it.

    Great opening post Carsten!
    The latest bios:
    http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/documen​t.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-71252 (BIOS 66)
    The FSB can be reduced from 133MHz to 100MHz using SetFSB, this also reduces the heat:
    http://www13.plala.or.jp/setfsb/
    clockgen = SLG8SP513V
    If you add a shortcut to the startup folder the program will start at startup. Under properties you can change the target to:
    "C:\Program Files\SetFSB\setfsb.exe" -s100 -b1 -cg[SLG8SP513V] -w20
    So it starts with a FSB of 100Mhz, in the background, with the right clock generator, after 20 seconds.

    alright. reformat, no longer have and fan-controlling software running, SMC reset, software update, etc. New, precise test using System Load to add a load to the cpu, Hardware Monitor for the temperatures, and TFMonitor for fan speeds. Running both CPUs at 99.5%*, the CPU fan sped up to just over 1500 rpm (HDD and ODD fans stayed relatively the same), from its resting 1198, with the temperatures maxing out at:
    PSU: 176°F (80°C)
    CPU Core 1: 164°F (74°C)
    CPU Core 2: 171°F (77°C)
    System Load and Hardware Monitor (or Temperature monitor) are from: http://ciderhouse.ivory.ne.jp/wp/english/
    and TF monitor is from: http://ciderhouse.ivory.ne.jp/wp/english/
    Now, to someone with more experience than I, are these numbers within reasonable operating range? And if the CPU fan can go as high as 3300 rpm, why would it not go any higher than half that? (smcFanControl reported 3300 as the max before I reformatted, but after reformatting I can't seem to get it to work)
    It just doesn't make sense to me. ....and I'm not fond of the heat radiating off the monitor...
    *I tested it up at almost 100% because with the work I do, I often do run around there. From time to time I do 3D renders and video work, and Photoshop almost never closes on my computer.

  • Custom Hardware Fan Control - problem if speed pin not connected?

    Hi There,
    I am planing to install a hardware fan control (poti) to my MacPro 1.1 rear fan. (because I have a defective northbridge temperature sensor and the fan is running at maximum speed... so i thought of slowing it down with a fan control for the pci slots)
    I read that the pinning of the Fan is: Gnd, 12V, Speed, Control Pin (analog Voltage)
    So when i would attach a fan control (just a poti) between some +5v and the Control Pin I think I should be able to control the fan manualy - am i right?
    But then the speed signal is not the speed the mac pro fan control software think of... so would it be a problem e.g. if i disconnect the speed pin from the mainboard fan connector?
    what would happen then? is the mac pro powering up the other fans for some kind of failsafe?
    Or have you other suggestions how I can lower the speed of the rear fan manually?
    thanks in advance,
    Stefan

    Send the motherboard in to have a 'skilled' electrician? repair the board perhaps.
    4 fans, 3 under the control of SMCFAnControl utility. Maybe disable the one fan and make up for it with your own fan and running the others efficiently.
    There are also VGA copper coolers.
