MacMini 2012 Fan speeds when downloading

When downloading, fan speeds up considerably, especially on movies.

So does mine. Also, watching clips on YouTube. Anything that will use the processor will start to generate heat and the fan speed will start to increase. Not to worry.

Macbook Air Mid 2012 Fan speed not adjusting

Hi,
I've a serious problem with my Macbook Air Mid 2012. The fan speed of the system is fixed to maximum of 2000rpm and is not
adjusting with increasing temperature. An SMC reset has not fixed the problem. At the moment I've to use iStat to increase the fan speed,
but otherwise the Air is crashing at about 78C. Does anybody has a similar problem?
Kind regards

Is the problem your fan is too noisy when it is not under load?
If your fan is running too fast you can try reseting SMC.

You can also try disabling or uninstalling SMCFanControl and then resetting SMC.
SMCFanControl should not be necessary for the normal operation of your Mac.
P.S. Your English is excellent.

Mac min Late 2012 fan speed

Fan speed in my mac mini is always 1800 rpm, when is CPU temperature 40 and when is temperature 85. Is this normal?

By default it probable won't kick up the fan until closer to 90 C (194 F) and then the fan will shoot up to the maximum speed.
If you want more control, try Lobotomo Software: MoofMenu or iMac HDD Fan Control
With FanControl when my Mac Mini is cool the fan runs a the default speed,
then as it warms up to above 138 F, the fan gradually speeds up and increase's the cooling.

SCCM 2012 SP1 errors when downloading updates

Currently using SCCM 2012 SP1 with CU2 and I am having some update download issue with Automatic Deployment Rules.
The Environment is:
Server 2008 R2
SCCM 2012 SP1 CU2 (Upgraded from SCCM 2012 CU2)
I created an Automatic Deployment Rule for Adobe Flash. Since I was having the same issue with Adobe Reader, when I published via SCUP to WSUS I chose not to sign the updates.
After publishing to WSUS I then sync SCCM, I see the updates and then in the ADR I had it download the updates and I see this error:
Authentication of file C:\Windows\TEMP\CABDEC5.tmp failed, error 0x800b0004 Software Updates Patch Downloader 8/15/2013 6:49:43 PM 3712 (0x0E80)
ERROR: DownloadContentFiles() failed with hr=0x80073633 Software Updates Patch Downloader 8/15/2013 6:49:43 PM 6876 (0x1ADC)
Failed to download the update from internet. Error = 13875 SMS_RULE_ENGINE 8/15/2013 6:49:43 PM 6876 (0x1ADC)

Now the funny thing is if I go to the update itself within update group that Flash is a member I can right click it and choose download and the error doesn't occur.
I observed that the UNC path for ADR Adobe flash, when the rule is ran, is populated with folders that have a name something like 44738297895427890.1 or 423154325378u867234789.1. I have come to realize that those are failed downloads. So for the
heck of it I then right clicked the update itself and chose download and it downloaded without issue. Now I'm guessing that when I chose to download directly from the update maybe the system is getting the update from adobe and not from wherever the rule was
trying to get it from. I then see the .1 removed from the directory name and there are updates within them.
Just for clarity here are the steps I go through from SCUP to Syncing...
Log in to WSUS server
Run SCUP as administrator
Get notified there are updates from Adobe and let SCUP download updates
Find the updates the specify the following publishing options
Full Content
Sign all software updates with a new publishing certificate .... (Is this necessary by the way?)
Then click Next
After that's done I then go to SCCM Manager Console and go to Software Updates and right click to Synchronize them.
After that's done then I run the ADR for Adobe Flash and when it goes to download the updates that's when the error occurs.
What am I missing?
Also, while I wait for help I just recently added the WSUS SCUP certificate to the SCCM server to see if by chance that fixes stuff. If it does then I'll post the results of adding the certificate to the SCCM server.
One other thing, is there a way to delete updates? When I was having this issue in the past, I went in to SCUP I marked the updates as expired and then deleted the updates. Went to SCCM and synchronized the updates and they went from not expired to expired
then I waited, maybe 30 days or so before I could add the updates back in.
Thanks for the help!

Yes, I know this is an old post, but I’m trying to clean them up. Did you solve this problem, if so what was the solution?
Have you seen the note at the bottom of this page about this error?

Why is it that I have to install a third party software to control my fan speeds when my iMac gets hot. Should't the system manage this. My iMac is over heating because of this. Is there a way to let me iMac manage the fans?

I've read many posts talking about using a third party software to manage the fans in my iMac. Can the iMac not do this on its own?

You don't have to do anything. The fans will run when the temperature gets hot enough to trigger them.
My new 2012 iMac isn't like my older 2007 iMac in terms of fan noise. I knew when the 2007 fans were running, I could hear the sound of rushing air and under heavy load they were load. Because the new 2012 models are very different in construction I don't hear that typical sound. In fact, until I saw a teardown I wondered if it had fans. The fan sounds more like a hum and I just never associated it with being a fan. Yes, the top of the computer does get hot, I think part of Apple's design is to use the alumnium back as a heat sink.

Hi fan speed when coming out of sleep

Hello Everyone,
I've had my iMAC Core Duo for a week now and I've noticed that when I power up the iMAC from shutdown the fans are almost completely silent. After I put the iMAC to sleep for a while 1 hour or so and wake it up the fans kick into high speed and don't slow down at all (lots of noise). I've tried reseting the SMU (unplug the mac, wait 30 seconds and plug it back in while holding down the power button.), no luck. I also tried reseting the NVRAM and deleting the powermanagement.plist. No luck. Anyone else having the same issue? If so have you found a fix or work around?
Thanks,
Rem

Looks like I've been able to narrow this down. I have a second monitor attached to the iMAC in extended desktop mode. If I remove the mini DVI connector to the second monitor and put the iMAC to sleep and wake it up a while later the fans start up go fast and within a few seconds slow right down to an level barely audible. Put the Mini DVI back in put it to sleep bring it out of sleep and the fans kick in full and stay on. Anyone else having this issue?

Ridiculous Fan Speed When Playing Games

Hi all the Mac peoples!
I have a little problem that I need an answer for:
I've got a MacBook, brand-new, 2 GB, 2.4 GHz, running 10.5.5 and whenever I run the game SuperTux (cute little penguin, check it out!), my fan goes wacko (up in the 4000-5000 rpm) and I have to stop everything and wait for it to slow down. I've reset the SMC a gazillion times to try to solve the problem, but it isn't really working.
If anyone has any answers, I could use one!
Thank you!
Love Always,
MacDarling55

Doesn't sound like there's a problem. The fans kick in when the CPU and GPU are under load, such as when playing a game, to dissipate the heat being generated.

What's the normal fan speed?

Hello, my fans have always been around 2000 rpm with both tiger and leopord, so I am wondering what is the normal range for fan speed when the computer is not running anything heavy.

So, I'm not crunching much at the moment; yet I have 133 F and 3906 rpm. However, that doesn't signify. It was flat on a wood table. Now, laptop; Room fan now on. That fan is the main thing. I read a great overview, will post link if I can find it, that air is like fluid dynamics: a MBP flat on a table in an air conditioned room (no fanned air movement) will run hotter than an MBP with space under, with a room fan, moving warmer air. Yah, no, really true.
Get freeware iStat Control 1.1 (1.2 soon): (http://www.islayer.com/), which will display fans' speed and temps in the menu bar, andmore, and make popcorn too, with the lavalamp thingee.
Then I use Fan Control, 1.2, freeware, and set it up a tiny bit just to be cool: " ... Do you think your MacBook (Pro) is running to hot? Give Fan Control a try then. Some MacBook (Pro) are just to hot for daylong use. Fan Control adjusts the minimum fan speed depending on the current CPU temperature. For safety, it leaves the original automatic fan speed control intact ..." Leopard Ready, yah.
http://www.lobotomo.com/products/FanControl/index.html
Both are preference panes in System preferences, which is very elegant, imho. And yes I have Leopard still shrinkwrapped. I will take a stab at it soon. Goodbye, cruel world (nah).

Temperature and Fan speed? screen freeze

I Have 2011 MacBook Pro 13inch . I was having the screen freeze issue from a hot graphics card it cpu that so many others have with this year macbook. After a night of playing videos (not realizing it was in loop) connected to my hd tv using thunderbolt. After the first one it happened a few more time after playing any video for a few minutes. Screen freeze with little pixelated boxes, yellow or blue. After some research I reset SMC and seems sit of fixed it. I am not running SMC FAN AND Temperature Monitor apps and my fans run about 2000 all the time. When I get hit it speeds up but not to much, seems on point. Except when I play hd videos the system get gets to 75-80c . I still have not had the freeze but that's because I have temperature monitor to launch SMC fan set at max fan speed when it get a to 80 d
Degrees C. I'm wondering if anyone knows the safe temp the 2011 MacBook Pro should be running at When playing hd video. I know it gets hotter when playing hd video by without SMC it seems my fans don't kick on to max speed untill the MacBook reached about 85-90c. Once the fans max it cools it right away. I know the fans are working cause I hear them but should the fans kick on faster before it gets to that hot if a temp. And is it safe to play hd movies of its running at about 80-85c?
Thank you for any information you might have on safe and average temp and fan speeds. If anyone has a macbook pro please let me know when your playing hd video for about a half hour or more how hot your cpu is showing.

Macs have established a reputation for being inferior game machines. PC's dominate that area and if that is a high priority, I always recommend a PC.

I'm happy to know that 85-90 is normal for video but my maCOBOL did almost fry my logic board from over Heating.
I doubt that you almost' fried' the logic board, but you may have approached thermal shutdown.
I also have a 2011 MBP and have run applications that are CPU/GPU intensive with no issues (the MBP certainly does heat up and gets very warm). I have never felt the need for a third party fan control.
If you wish to run games a lot, a cooling pad and a cool environment would help the situation.
Ciao.

Z77A-G45- CPU fan speed problem

Hi all, new to this forum and MSI Motherboards.
i have a problem with my CPU fan speed when i plug any fan and water cooler fan into the CPU 4pin they all run at 2000+ rpm, but when i use the fan 1 or fan 2 --4 pin it runs at a slower speed of 1400rpm, am i missing something in bios, i have 2.5 version of bios, would be greatfull for any help....

Should be able to adjust in the section below or with control center.

Fan noise when I Target Disk Mode - power supply or 500 GB drive, or RAM?

I have a Revision B iMac G5 which falls squarely in the power supply replacement program and has had the power supply replaced twice. I'm wondering if my extra RAM, or larger hard drive could be to blame for the fan speeds upramping at random during normal operation, and always when I Target Disk Mode the machine. I have a Western Digital WDC WD5000KS-00MNB0
and two 1 GB RAM modules with the following spec PC3200U-30330.
Before I try to pin down the cause one by one, has anyone noticed whether there are 500 GB drives on these Macs which will not up the fan speeds? Has anyone noticed whether target disk mode on these models will not increase the fan speeds when RAM is upgraded to 2 GB?

I have the same iMac as yours. Changed the original 80 gig hdd to a 250 gig. Both drives are seagate barracudas. I also upgraded the memory to 2gigs. The fan noise was terrible.
6 months later a ram module gives up the ghost. I originally thought hard drive, so purchased a Western digital 500 gig WDC WD5000AACS-00ZUB0. (The green power series).

Fans very quite. still waiting for the replacement ram module;
to see if extra ram will increase fan noise

Fan Speeds While Gaming?

I was just wondering if the fan speeds were normal on my new 27" iMac. When I run portal at max settings my fan runs at about 2200-2500 rpm according to istat. When I'm on the internet it's usually around 1100-1400 rpm. It's not that loud, but I can hear it. I was just wondering if this is normal? It sounds normal, but I just want to make sure.

If you notice high fan speeds when doing normal computing it doesn't hurt to do a SMC reset.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

MSI GT70-20C Optimal Fan speed

I have a question about my fan speed.When my laptop is on normal-i am not working on it, the temperature is 39c on the one core and something like 43 on the other.My fan speed on normal is from 1890 to 1930 RPM.Is this normal? Cuz i hear my laptop a little bit noisy, and i think 2 months ago it wasn't like this. Btw, i formatted my laptop 2 weeks ago, and its still the same-before and after it.Please share an opinions,how your laptop is doing... i will be grateful.

How are you liking it so far?
Just got mine, I've had and gone through 7 Asus g750 models. Starting with jw, then jm, then js, then jz. Had cpu thermal throttling on all of them. So now I switched to msi, gave up high cpu and low gpu temps for low cpu and high gpu temps. But I knew this before coming to msi. I render and edit 4k video, the cpu thermal throttle spikes, result in a glitch during that part of the final movie, when this happens over and over through the whole rendering process, the whole final video is poop. Asus final result was to tell me that I should be happy to get turbo, but to run stock without turbo boost aka 2.4ghz. I told them no freakin way am I running 2.4ghz, that's not acceptable, goodbye.
And now hello, msi.
Overall, asus vs msi, still blow for blow just as nice. But I will say I have no regrets coming to the GT70, fan noise a little loud while gaming, im not used to that. But I don't game much.

Kt4a ultra fisr - fan speed controlling

hi,
does anybody know how to control the cpu fan speed when using this mainboard? i tried, as the manual says it, pc alert 4, but it did not do anything. neither does speedfan work.
is there still a chance to have success? the cpu is running @33-34°C (pc alert 4) and the fan is quite loud (5krpm).
thanks
Tristan

CompUSA is selling a very decent fan controller with digital temps read out for like 30 bucks ...It has intercahngeable face so it can match your system build ...It fits an a cd rom open slot and works and looks great ...It does work too but if the fans you have are not speed variabled then i dont care what you use it will never work ...Most CPUs and high quality fans are able to be controlled by a fan controller ...Most cheaps just spin whatever their rpm is rated to spin at ...........

Automatic fan speed adjustment?

Currently I have the app SMCFan running on all of my Macs to regulate the fan speed in order to cool them down. And on all of these Macs I have different presets that control the RPM of specific fans. I have few different fan settings on my iMac according to the intensity of the task and the temperature of the hardward (I use MiStat to monitor my computers' temperature).
Here is the issue, my brother play games all the time and usually it drives the GPU and CPU up to 60-70C all the time and I don't want to turn my fan to maximum or over maximum the entire time including when its idle just to make sure it runs fast when my brother is playing games because: 1) it can potentially shorten the fan's lifespan, 2) it gets extremely loud especially on the iMac where the fan is gigantic. I can only go in and adjust the fan speed when I notice my brother is playing game via Screen Sharing from my MacBook Pro but I'm not always looking out for when he's playing games so there are times when the GPU shoots up to 70-80C and I won't know to adjust the fan speed.
For that, is there a way for me to set my iMac, or any of my Macs, that when the CPU or GPU activity hits a certain point (by % of activity or the temperature reading of the processor itself) it will increase or decrease the fan speed according to my settings automatically? If there is it would be extremely helpful to keep my iMac last longer.
Thanks ahead.

You are trying to fix something that isn't broken.
OS X controls the fan automatically to protect the cpu.
Third party fan control software is not needed and may, if configured improperly, result in damage to the cpu although an Intel cpu is supposed to shutdown if it gets too hot.
The minimum fan speed is 2000 RPM. It will start to increase around 70 degrees C.
