I have an early 2009 MBP with a 2.66 Intel Core 2 Duo processor. I noticed it got pretty hot and I never really heard the fans spool up. I remember seeing the temps as high as 170*-180* (f) which is pretty hot!
After looking online for an aftermarket fan or a laptop cooler I found this awesome program!
"SMCFanContol" Which... as you might have guessed controls fan speed, but still allows factory apple coding to raise the fan rpms in ration to processing loads. With one click you can return to stock setting if your a weirdo whos's afraid to mess with stuff. Now I got my fans at a base of 3500RPMS instead of 2000RPMS and raise as high as 4500RPMS under full load. Keeps the temps below 150* (f) at increased loads and normally around 100*-120* (f) for moderate loads.
So Heres a link! Hope you download it. Share your settings in the comments for others, or let me know if this review helped you.
Oh and If you need a Macbook Pro..
