Korrupted Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 While running this update I searched google and found out what SMC is: " System Management Controller The 15-inch MacBook Pro uses an advanced system management controller (SMC) to manage thermal and power conditions, while keeping the acoustic noise to a minimum. The SMC is fully independent of the operating system." Source: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/H...okPro_0601.html I haven't ran mine long enough yet to see if there's a temperature drop, but any feedback is appreciated.

suleiman Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Still got a bit of a whine on mine after installing this update and restarting. I don't know if it does much of anything, and can't really tell if the systems becomes sluggish as a result of the install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korrupted Posted May 17, 2006 Author Share Posted May 17, 2006 Mine still whines a little too, but the temperature honestly feels like it has dropped by a decent amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentbob Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 One interesting thing i noticed: During update fans are running in full speed, unbelieveable noisy. Looks like this can be kind of calibration or tunning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
