There's a Volcano in My MacBook Pro


Have you noticed that your Macbook Pro was getting extremely hot? Well, because of how small it is there is not much ventilation, and because of that you Macbook Pro gets extremely hot. Well, there is a solution. It is called smcFanControl, and you can download it here. Basically, it will let you choose the minimum rpm for your fans. So if it gets hot and you want to cool it down in about 2  minutes just set it to 4500 rpm. Or, you can always have it on and set it at something like 1000 rpm.
Pros: 
Can quickly cool down your Macbook Pro 
Its free
It works great
If you set it too low, the Apple fan controller steps back in
You can control it from the menu bar

Cons:
Once it is open you can't switch back to the way Apple controls the fans unless you restart
Will use up some extra batter

Overall rating: 4 out of 5
