Hdd Fan Control For Windows
- Well we are very excited to announce that we are working on a version of iMac HDD Fan Control for Windows. This will be a free version for people who buy the Mac software. It is currently in early development but is looking promising, we will need beta testers at some point so if you are a Mac version user and wish to get a beta version please.
- Speed Fan for Windows is a property of the Almico. It’s the right tool you need to not only manage your computer’s fan speed also read and regulate the temperature of your motherboard, CPU, and the hard drive. Macs Fan Control for Mac.
- I’ll bet it’s the CPU fan working unnecessary overtime. Many modern CPU’s require adequate cooling just to avoid catastrophic thermal meltdown. So manufacturers.
- Such fan control software allows you to take control of the fan speed, create profiles of fan performance etc. In this article we have curated the top fan control software apps that can work for Windows or MAC computers, laptops, or even vendor specific apps that provide a wide range of additional features.
- The core of the system is a daemon that runs in the background and takes care of the fan management. Whenever the SMC system resets to its default, SSD Fan Control takes over again to make sure that your system remains quiet. Aside of this daemon, SSD Fan Control features a user-friendly application for monitoring and control.
- Real-time monitoring of fan speed and temperature sensors including 3rd party HDD/SSD (using S.M.A.R.T.). Set custom RPM value (revolution per minute) or control fan speed in relation to a temperature sensor (e.g. Create and save custom fan presets so you can quickly switch between them depending on your activity.
Let’s start playing with some fan controls. Click the Configure button and head to the Advanced tab. Click the “Chip” dropdown and choose your motherboard chipset from the list. Click the “PWM Mode” options and make sure they’re all set to “MANUAL” using the dropdown at the bottom of the window.
Hello everyone,
I have a wonderful 27″ mid-2011 iMac. A few years ago I installed a new 1TB Hard Drive (spinning SATA). When I booted up the new install, the iMac fans went crazy. Very loud and going full speed. This is why:

The Hard Drive that Apple uses from the factory has a proprietary controller on it for reporting the drive temperatures to the motherboard. My new drive had no temperature sensor on it, so my iMac motherboard didn’t know what the HD temperature was. It therefore ran the fan speed at 100% all the time.
I certainly didn’t want to open the thing back up so I went with a software solution. I choose smcFanControl and I was fairly satisfied but I did notice that the back of the iMac still got very hot to the touch. I also had to be constantly adjusting the smcFanControl settings.

About two months ago I decided to go with an SSD drive and I chose the Crucial MX500 SSD. I did not want to control the fans via a software solution so I “bit the bullet” and bought the $39.00 OWC In-Line Digital Thermal Sensor Cable. I did not want to pay the $39.00 but I wanted to do the upgrade the right way and I knew that a hardware solution to the fan problem was the right way to go.

So, off comes the glass (you really don’t need suction cups), and after eight screws out comes the screen. Now you have the four cables to disconnect:
- Vertical Sync Cable
- Backlight Power Cable
- Display Port Cable (not too difficult to disconnect but quite difficult to reattach).
- Display Power Cable
OWC has a great video here. I bent the Display Port Cable initially and had to order another one from ebay. Finally I updated to macOS High Sierra (can’t go any higher on the mid-2011), and the machine ran like a clock. No fan noise and the new SSD was much more responsive. At some point I’m going to add 4 more GB of memory and I figure I’ll be able to use this machine for a few more years.
The upgrade was fun. Don’t be afraid to give it a try. Just follow the OWC video and you’ll do well.
