| | Fan control on Macbook Pro 15 inch under windows 7 Hello, I have the latest macbook pro 15 inch. I have installed windows 7 build 7100 on it via bootcamp. Most things are working but the box is running very hot. At idle I see 75C on the GPU and 60C on the processor. The fans will not come on until 80C. I don't want to run my computer at 80C. I talked to Apple and they told me that there was no way to change the EFI settings. They also told me that Windows 7 had no way to manage the fan settings via Apple's EFI. Is this true? I downloaded speedfan and it was not able to control the fans. Has anybody else had this problem? Is there a solution? Is this an Apple problem or a Microsoft Issue? |

| | just out of curiosity, what are the thresholds for the mac end? When does the fan kick on? What is normal idle temps? |

| | Lubbo's Unfortunately, while Lubbo's loads just fine, it doesn't pick up either of the fan's speeds, the CPU temp, or the GPU temps. |

| | Lubbo's works great for me on a 17" Macbook Pro with an i5 core. My thighs were being slow-roasted before, but now they are much cooler. You should try a new version if you tried it before and it didn't work. It's been updated as recently as 6/13/2011. You can get it here. |
