Blah101 Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 In iStats menus I am unable to see my CPU fan and because of this my cpu is running between 45-50 on idle, but 55-65 when playing tf2. Is there a way to get my CPU fan recognized? By the way, all my case fans are managed manually by switches on the back of my case, only my CPU fan is managed via the OS. However I can't get the CPU fan to be managed by Snow Leo because it is not being recognized (showing up) in istat menus ~Blah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slyb2 Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I am also interested by this. Thanks to insanely mac I have 99% working hackintosh but the CPU fan is always running (medium speed I would say) and never "idles" as in Win7. The CPU is a T4400 in an Acer 7736ZG laptop.

Blah101 Posted July 26, 2010 Author Share Posted July 26, 2010 ^^ABOVE^^ I have fakesmc.kext installed. Is there anything else I need to install to be able to control my CPU fan? EDIT: Updating my fakesmc now to see if that helps EDIT2: Didn't help, I still can't see my CPU fan in istat menus nor can I control it. ~Blah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 You have two options. 1) Follow the link FormerlyKnownAs posted for you and educate yourself 2) Give up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blah101 Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 Found my problem ( I think ). Turns out that when installing the OS I used an extras folder from here and that folder had a version of FakeSMC init. I deleted that and the one I had installed and installed fresh. I can now see everything! My only problem now is I have no control over the fan. Thanks guys! ~Blah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
