Prevent MBP Leg Burn With smcFanControl

With the new Intel chips in the super sleek MacBook Pros, one no longer has to worry about working on cold winter days. Slap that baby on your lap and warm up, homies! Now if you’re a bit on the wimpy side and become concerned with the extreme red mark left on your leg, particularly on the left leg, then you may be interested in a free little software application entitled smcFanControl.

smcFanControl gives you the ability to control the fan inside of your Mac. Speed it up if things become too warm and slow it down if it becomes a noise pollution issue. Truth is, if you’re in need in a cool Mac on your lap, then this program does it. Granted, you’ll take a hit on noise and a slight one in battery life, but the pros far outweigh the cons.

Author Hendrik Holtmann promises to move the program to the menu with the next release, which will keep it out of your Dock when running. This will only make, excuse the pun, a cool app even cooler.

While you’re downloading Holtmann’s program, why not donate some to encourage his progress with this wonderful program?
