Macbook heat issues resolved

Posted by The Technocrat | Filed under Hardware

Every review of the MacBook Pro I’ve seen goes on and on about how wonderful everything is about these user-lappy’s…until they get to the topic of cooling.

It seems that there is a general agreement that the MacBook Pro’s run way too hot for many people’s preference.  This seems to be a poorly defined threshold as to when the fans kick in or stay off.  As with many laptops, fan use has to be balanced with battery life, but it appears that Apple missed the mark with this one, with the result being a hotter-than-usual laptop.
Luckily, a freeware app from Lobotomo called Fan Control solves this.  You can set the default base fan speed, as well as the lower and upper temperature limits to properly cool your MacBook Pro to your liking.  Check out this freeware today, and say goodbye to your burning lap!
