SMC Fan Control

[null_x86]

Hey I have a Dell e1505 thats hot when OSX is running and I know SMC Fan Control is like SpeedFan but for Mac. It wont install on my system for some reason, tells me its not compatible. Im running Kalyway 10.5.2...

I have same problem. It says this

 

 

But I don't have any other fan controling software running. When I click Contine, it just don't do anything.

Is there any way to make this app work?

[U.C.]

Mac Laptops have a CHIP called the S-M-C(System Management Controller), thus the name SMCFanControl. PC's dont. Thus it doesnt work. Most laptops AFAIK use some controller chip or sometimes even the BIOS. But this is then out of SMCFanController's purview.

So there is no way to control fan speed on Hackintosh? My 8800GT is very hot...
