Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
#Mac fan controller app software#
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS.

Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder.

Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process. Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space.

Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. However, you need to return the fan configuration to its original setting(s) which is an idle speed of 2000 RPM for each fan (if your model has more than one.) Once you do that you can then uninstall the software using the uninstaller, if it has one. So uninstalling the software is appropriate.

The OS is already configured to increase fan speeds in response to higher operating temperatures. Note that OS X 10.6 and 10.7 will run the Fan Control preference panel in 32-bit mode - this, apparently, is required by those versions of OS X.There really is no need for third-party fan controls. The software was built to run on i386 and/or x86_64 (i.e., it's a universal Intel build) and is targeted to 10.6+ (i.e., it "should" run on OS X 10.6 and later). Macmini4,1 (Mac Mini, mid 2010) running OS X 10.8.5 This software was built using 10.8 SDK and was tested on the following Macs: The original version of Fan Control was created by Lobotomo in about 2008 and it's still be best design of any of the fan-controlling software! This version of Fan Control updates and enhances the Lobotomo work. Fan-speed requests are designed to keep each fan's 'Wanted' fan speed within 25 RPM of the sloped line on the graph. Fan Control determines (what it considers to be) the most applicable collection of CPU-related and GPU-related temperature sensors then, every 3 seconds, determines the highest temperature from both of those collections.įan Control uses the highest of the shown CPU/GPU-related temperatures, represented by the vertical line on the graph, to compute the requested the fan speed(s) according to the User's slider/preference settings. 'Current Temperatures' shows the highest CPU-related and GPU-related temperatures from the collection of CPU/GPU temperature sensors that Fan Control monitors for that system.

'Fan Speeds: Current' shows the current fan speed (and its percentage of maximum RPM) as reported by the Operating System and is presented as the horizontal line on the graph 'Fan Speeds: Wanted' shows the fan speed that Fan Control has requested and is presented as the circle on the graph 'Fan Speeds: Max.' shows the maximum fan speed allowed for the fan, as reported by the Operating System Fan Speed' setting defines the slowest speed Fan Control will request for each fan The 'Upper Temp Threshold' setting defines the temperature by which Fan Control will be requesting the maximum fan speed(s). The 'Lower Temp Threshold' setting defines the lowest temperature at which Fan Control may start requesting increased fan speed(s) to help reduce temperatures. When adjusting fan speeds, Fan Control asks the operating system to run the fan(s) at certain speed(s).
