I rarely run Boot Camp but whenever I'm using Boot Camp on my 13' MBP [Summer 2009 model] it really heats up a lot. I generally use IE8 or Google Chrome, & the Zune software. Not much besides that to be honest, occasionally I used MediaMonkey as well. Lubbo's MacBook Pro Fan Control is a tool to control the fan speed on your MacBook Pro, letting you easily manage the temperature of the GPU. One of the key features of this tool is that it controls both the minimum and maximum fan speed and differentiates between the two fan controls, the CPU and the GPU (right and left). Anyway, point is for some reason - regardless of programs running - the notebook appears to be getting extremely hot. I want to increase the fan speed while in Boot Camp so it doesn't run so hot. Any ideas/recommendations as to do doing this? In OS X [10.6] it works perfectly fine so definitely something related to Windows drivers but increasing the fan speed should remedy, no? Just got my 2010 mbp and had the same issue. After finding smcfancontrol for regulating the fan speed in osx, ive found that bootcamp/windows will maintain whatever speed you had the fans set at the last time you booted into osx. I usually keep mine around 2400rpm in osx, but if im going to boot into windows 7 i turn the fans up to about 3000-3400. If youre going to play a game you probably wanna go for at least 4000rpm. I was suprised how hot these things get on the default fan speed. Mine never slowed, but it got to the point where it was painful to keep my hand pressed against the bottom if the machine was doing anything demanding. I usually read how theyre designed to be used on a table, but thats pretty rare for me. Brother driver download for mac. Seems like an oversight in my opinion. Other than that one issue, beautiful machine. Of course, no doubt this is one gorgeous laptop. That's a pretty useful way to adjust the fan speed but is there no way to do it simply from within Boot Camp - Windows 7? I guess I can set the speed in Mac OSX & then go into Windows with the same fan speed but that requires me to change the fan speed every time I go in & out of Windows because when I'm in OS X I don't need to adjust the fan speed as it works fine so I'd always want to go back down to the 'factory default' & then further increase it when I'm going to boot in Windows - I don't game at all on this to be honest. Another flaw would be that if my notebook was switched off & I went directly in to Windows I would have no control over the fan speed until I reboot in OS X, adjust the fan speed, & then reboot into Boot Camp. Sounds a little inefficient, no? You're right on all counts. Fan control on mac hardware running Windows is poor, and your machine will over/heat. If you use Windows a lot, under heavy loads, or want your HD to last longer, fan management is a good idea. As far as I am aware there is no Windows-only option for temperature monitoring and control. ![]() There are Windows-Windows apps which do this sort of thing, but they (reportedly) either don't work at all on mac hardware, or they do but inaccurately or partially - which is in most ways worse than nothing at all. I use and have used smcfancontrol for a long time successfully, with the 'restart trick' noted above. It works well. Somewhat inconvenient yes but it works which is an advantage over the alternatives. We are committed to providing you the latest AutoCAD for Mac that supports each newly released macOS in real time.

But I haven't heard of it in a long time so it may no longer be available and anyway I can't remember the name. Something you wouldn't expect like keyboard something. That's not much help is it. Anyway, I suggest iStat or Temperature Monitore or similar under OSX to stay aware of the situation (when you reboot back into OSX after a Windows session you can get a rough idea of how hot things got), and smcfancontrol to keep temps low/er. Re why Apple doesn't have better/proper fan/temp management automagically under Windows like it does under OSX - to be honest I don't think Apple is falling over itself to optomise our Windows experience.
