Modified Lubbo's Fan Control

Share
Lubbo's Fan Control is a fantastic fan control application that solves the Macbook's thermal problem. Unfortunately, for some models of Macbook, you have to kill the process of bootcamp.exe, otherwise the CPU usage of bootcamp.exe would go very high periodically.

In this forum thread, mizutama revealed an IO method to control macbook fans without killing the process of bootcamp.exe. Based on his demo program WpfFanMon, I integrated his method to Lubbo's Fan Control 0.19.

My modified version of Lubbo's Fan Control 0.19 can be downloaded from here my SkyDrive or badongo hosts.

  4. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! The freakin' CPU spikes are completely gone on my 2007 Macbook Pro Santa Rosa!!

    Now all this program needs is a way to run at startup, because adding a shortcut to the startup folder doesn't work. Also run it without the administrator prompt and that "Yes/No/Cancel" question. Maybe through a shortcut like:-

    LubbosFanControl.exe -y for Yes
    LubbosFanControl.exe -n for No

  5. And to add, something to make it start minimized in taskbar, perhaps a -m
