    I wasn't going to post about smcFanControl, but the last few days we have been getting at least 3 tips a day pointing it out. Clearly, there is an audience for this little app, so post about it I must!smcFanControl, as you might have guessed, is a small application that lets you control the speed of the fans on your MacBook or MacBook Pro. Why would you want to do this? To keep it cool, of course!Now, why wouldn't I want to post about this? Simple, I fear that many people are going to be running their fans at full speed for hours on end, and then the fans will fail. And then you need to get them replaced, and that's no fun.smcFanControl is free, and requires an Intel Mac.Thanks to everyone who sent this in.
