It works, the fan does go faster. Even when it says my operating system version was not supported officially. Use the direct download link though

Potentially useful, marred by uncommunicative developer

Once a must-have utility, now unreliable on certain Mac models. Very likely abandoned by the developer. Fortunately easily replaced by Macs Fan Control, a free, more configurable utility that enjoys active development.

VIRUS WARNING on the downloaded .dmg.

Make scrolling smoother, faster? and more comfortable.

smcFanControl lets the user set the minimum speed of the build-in fans. If youve got burnt thighs from an old MacBook Pro or you notice that your computer is always overheating and crashing from using CPU-intensive apps (like playing PC games in a virtual Windows environment), you might want to check out smcFanControl. This free, GPL-licensed utility has a single purpose: letting you increase the minimum speed of built-in fans, so your Intel computer will run cooler.

Large (40º-50ºC) discrepancy between the CPU temperature displayed by this and prior versions on certain Mac models.

When you use the direct link it gives you a .zip file, containing the .app file. Drag this to Applications, and youre good. It appears CNET put a trojan into their installer. Or at least a crap load of bloatware that the scanner figured as a trojan.

The developer rarely communicates or updates the software.

Can provide a compact menubar display of the CPU temperature and fan speed with the option of increasing the minimum fan speed.

Forces windows to go full screen when you click the green orb button.

My processor speed slowed to an absolute crawl. I suffered for a week and finally uninstalled it. I looked for another option and found Macs Fan Control (CrystalIdea) and when I was setting the preferences, you could hear the fans ramp up. No matter what setting I chose smc, never heard a thing.

smcFanControl lets the user set the minimum speed of the build in fans. So you can increase your minimum fan speed to make your intel mac run cooler. However in order not to damage your machines smcFanControl lets you not set minimum speed to a rate under Apples defaults.

New: Support for Yosemite Dark Mode

smcFanControl lets you monitor the current temperature (in Celsius or Fahrenheit), assign different minimum speeds for each fan using sliders, and even apply different settings when your power source changes (for example, going back to default fan speed when using battery power). As with any settings-tinkering software, youll want to use smcFanControl judiciously–but fortunately this application always keeps fans in automatic mode (so speed will increase along with CPU load) and never lets you set the fan speed below the Apple-recommended minimum. This most recent version adds support for every current MacBook, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, and Mini.

No technical support, probably abandonware.
