    Control the fans of every Intel Mac to make it run cooler

  • I'm trying to make a utility to control fan speeds. I have so far been using https://github.com/hholtmann/smcFanControl/tree/master/smc-command to control fan speeds but it has some issues. It does not work on the newer macs. Are there any such programs to control fan speeds?

  • Wow! Congrats on the M1. However, I disagree when you say I'm reinventing the wheel. The program I've written has its own thermal management algorithm: https://github.com/quackduck/cool
