754732 2009-03-08 09:44:00 Hi,

Does anyone know of a tool (not smcFan, speedFan or inputRemapper) that can control the fans when I'm in Vista in Bootcamp?

Thanks

754733 2009-03-08 10:43:00 Why not speedfan? I think it works just fine if your hardware supports it

Otherwise try this search
www.google.co.nz

I found a few threads about it

Thanks for your reply.

I had been using SpeedFan but it couldn't affect my fan speeds. I'm guessing it is something to do with the EFI/BIOS talking to each other.

I've spent a long time searching through forums and threads.

754735 2009-03-08 11:13:00 are you sure your hardwares up to it? hueybot3000 (3646)
754736 2009-03-08 11:19:00 Yeah, it should be able to play reasonably old games without overheating to the point of graphics errors music_man (5482)
754737 2009-03-08 11:21:00 ? what you mean? you want to make the fans faster? hueybot3000 (3646)
754738 2009-03-08 11:34:00 When the computer is doing something intensive, the fans usually speed up. Unfortunately with my windows installation it stays at the same speed - which leads to overheating. music_man (5482)
754739 2009-03-08 11:36:00 I see, Id say a fan controller would be the best bet then. As in a thing that fits in your computer with a knob on it. Most computer shops have them starting at $20-$30 hueybot3000 (3646)
754740 2009-03-08 11:50:00 This might sound silly, but I thought that macs were cooled by convection?

Do you know that it isn't entirely passive? That sounds like a SJ thing to do. Very Zen.

Of course, I'm probably wrong, but it's worth checking out.

PS. Hueybot, how's he going to get a fan controller into a mac? Pretty tricky mod right there.

PPS. Musicman, you might consider purchasing a proper computer, one that can run an OS that actually has software written for it. ( :p )
