Free Gems: smcFanControl
I can’t believe I haven’t posted this free gem yet, especially considering summer’s end is near. smcFanControl is an oldie, but a lap-saving goodie. It lets you manually set the minimum RPM of your computer’s fans, in case your palms are frying and OS X doesn’t smell the burning flesh.
Careful to uninstall this if you ever have to take your machine to the Apple Store for battery or overheating issues. They will bring this up as a reason not to swap our your gear in some cases.
@Chris — Wow! Thanks for the heads up.
