Posted July 17, 2018 My brother recently bought a second hand 2014 15 inch Macbook Pro with 4980HQ and 750m. Everything runs great except he complains the wrist rest area behind the keyboard gets too warm under light use (browsing web, etc). I'm thinking of adjusting the curve so the fan will run a bit faster during light use. The only software I found sets a constant RPM, it can't adjust the curve. Does anyone know a software to adjust the curve? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted July 17, 2018 Mac fan control is awesome. I'd give it a try. https://www.crystalidea.com/macs-fan-control Donate your unused computer resources for cancer and other research.

Just setting constant temperature, or adjusting starting/max temperature. Also, it reports 37c on the palm rest on idle, what are you guys getting?

I use it on my macbook air and it no longer runs warm. I think I have mine set to increase at 50 and max at 85 based off the CPU diode.
