SMC Fan Control

I bet that mac user know about SMC Fan Control. It's a kind like a software which is to increase the RPM speed of processor's fan. I usually use this because if I don't use it, my proc temperatures goin' up to 68 until 70 degrees C and of course it makes me uncomfortable to use it or type its keyboard. To solve that problem, recently I always use the SMC Fan Control to reduce the heat. And it's worked .. !!! It can make the temperature stable in 50 degrees C.

yup we can see above .. on the left side it's our prcessor's RPM that we have for recently. On the right side, there're 2 textbox which are we can adjust the RPM by drag left or right. Picture above is the SMC FanControl (version 1, I think). I found that there was SMC FanControl 2. You can see its picture bellow.

I haven't already familiar to use this version. I like to use the first one because it's very simple to understand also to use it.

I always set it up in the 3000rpm. It isn't too fast and not too slow. I used to set it up on 5000rpm but unfortunately after a few days I used it, the fan made some noise. I don''t know but after a few days I didin't use it, it became norma again. Sounds strange I guess .. ...

So after that experience, I always use the fan control on 3000rpm. And heyy .. my MBP isn't hot anymore .. more comfortable for me at least since apple don't solve the Core Duo logicboard's problem .. (or maybe can't solve the problem .. ?) .. well who knows ..
