I initially used SmcFanControl but it still allowed the iMac to get too hot since it's only a simple manual adjustment and it keeps the fans running at a constant higher speed all the time which I don't like as far as fan wear and sucking in more dust goes.

My MacBook Pro fans act normal and speed up when it gets hot. The thing is that the iMac fans never speed up at all and it overheats and will shutdown eventually. I make sure that I observe ESD practices with ground straps. If any of my Macs get dirty inside I'll carefully take them apart and vacuum and blow out the filth. I was just checking, not many folks think to even clean the dust off the intake grills regularly must less the insides. And I have had it apart to change the hard disk and there was only a small amount of very fine dust to clean out and nothing more. I'm also using Fan Control on my 2010 Mac Mini in hopes that it too will last as long or longer than my iMac.īut if you must know it's very clean inside and operates in a house that has high end air purifiers and is nearly dust free. I am with you and also believe that cooler hardware will last longer.! That's why I've been using SMCFanControl on my 2006 iMac for over 6 years, which seems to have paid off. Problem is, that eventually it comes at a price and after a few years (5+ in your case) the hardware begins to suffer. I'm not sure why Apple has the thresholds set up so high, perhaps to maintain a quieter all-in-one system than it's competitors. This doesn't address the problem of the fans not speeding up when it's hot at all. Why can this control panel speed up and control the fans just fine and effectively cool the iMac but left to it's default control it does nothing and allows the iMac to overheat? And has anyone had this problem and found a way to fix it?
Many people seem to like SmcFanControl for some reason but I don't because it's crude and totally manual in setting the base fan speed which keeps the fan running higher than normal all the time but doesn't help much to cool if the iMac gets really hot unless you manually speed up the fan more. The one I chose as the best was Derman's version of Fan Control, a control panel which is automatic and effectively keeps all the temperatures normal and has been my solution to the problem. Then I found some of these apps that let you control the fan speed manually or customize the threshold and with some of these I was able to speed the fans up.

It was a while before I had installed software that measured temperatures of devices or fan speeds inside the iMac and then determine what was happening and that indeed the iMac would shut off when the power supply got too hot. NOTE: Left side override done, now we expect increased left fan speed (Macs Fan Control show actual overridden fan speed), you can change it back with Macs Fan Control interface.ġ3.I have a 2007 iMac that for some reason the fans won't speed up above idle and so if it's put to heavy use eventually it will overheat and shutdown. Change value for selection to "6000" or any other value (right click on selection, "Change Record" - "Value" menu item click, change value to "6000", "OK" button click) Select all addresses on Address List (bottom panel)ġ1. Select all found addresses (left panel) and copy items to the Address List (the red arrow button click)ġ0.
Scan for "4444" (Enter "4444" to "Value:" field, "First Scan" button click)ĩ. Attach to MacsFanControl.exe process (top left button, select MacsFanControl.exe, click "Attach debugger to process" button)Ĩ. NOTE: You can choose ANY value, we need it only for filtering in Cheat Engineħ. Set constant value for Left Side - 4444ĥ. I found the way to override speed limitation by using Macs Fan Control and Cheat EngineĤ. (CPU limitations may be unnecessary, but in my case the GPU Clock MUST be tuned down since the temperature will always go beyond 80 when set to default 1004 MHz)

These are the methods I'm using now: Max fan speed(smcFanControl) + Turbo disabled and CPU power limited to 25W(QuickCPU) + GPU Clock set to 640 MHz(MSI Afterburner) + 2020 Jan driver Hopefully Apple will eventually fix this. This fix is a little bit annoying, because you have to login to macOS every time before using Windows. Sadly preventing temperature from going above 80 may the only but temporally fix.

The recent macOS's update may have messed up something causing this odd behavior. Like many others, my Mac's GPU core clock will drop down to around 300 MHz minutes after the temperature gets 80+ degree, and with fluctuate between 300-500ish MHz even if the temperature goes down to around 74 degrees. People with throttle issues should definitely try this one. The fan's speed goes from 5000 to 7000, and my MacBook Pro 2018 15-inch's temperature is now constantly below 72 degrees. Thank you so much! This method is by far the only method that actually works.
