hey there people so uhm yeah i play minecraft on my mac and uhh lets just say i want the fans to be really loud without using any third party app any terminal shortcuts to do this???

#

basically i want the fans to run at fulll speed

#

i wanna force it

I highly advise against doing that. It can damage the fan's internals and consequently other components.

I figure you're experiencing thermal throttling, that's why you want to do this? If that's the case, I'd rather lower the settings and have a working laptop on the long run.

dude i dont wanna open up my laptop or smth

#

i just wanna use the terminal to make the fans start

That's not what I meant.. having fans run at 100% most of the time is what my point was.

oh...

random crow

The laptop adjusts fan speed according to the temps..

sudden tiger
#

yeahhh ik that

#

okayyy

#

i found a third party called macs fan control

#

is it good?

random crow
#

Yeah, any third-party app is good, just don't do it very often because seriously, you might regret it.. 😅

sudden tiger
#

ohhh okay

#

you have experience?

#

i suppose

random crow
#

Not with Macs, with gaming laptops and desktop builds.

I've had a few fans fail already, so don't think it can't happen to you.
