SCREENSHOTS:
mbpfan
DESCRIPTION:
mbpfan is a lightweight daemon for Linux that provides fan speed management for MacBook and MacBook Pro hardware. It reads temperature data via the coretemp kernel module and drives fan speeds through the applesmc interface, making it especially valuable for users running Linux natively on Apple hardware where automatic thermal control may be lacking. The daemon supports multiple processors and multiple fans, allowing flexible configurations for complex Mac models, and aims to keep systems both cool and quiet by dynamically adjusting fan behavior. While originally based on Allan McRae’s mbpfan, this enhanced version expands compatibility and tuning options. It’s especially useful on Linux installations where default drivers don’t effectively communicate with Apple’s proprietary sensor and fan hardware. Users often pair it with custom configuration profiles to match their preferred balance of noise and temperature control.
