Hi,
The SMC is a low-level controller that manages thermal management and other things. Usually it solves the problem but if the issue persists then visit Apple Store, or another authorized repair shop. If you don’t like mac’s fan control app then you have other options too. SmcFanControl controls the fans of every Intel Mac to make it run cooler. 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 doesn't let you set a minimum speed to a value below Apple's.
When enabling 'Autostart minimized with system', I always get the follwing error message during boot 'Error initializing SMC Layer, please make sure that your Mac system is supported and you have correctly installed the program.' and Macs Fan Control is not lauched.
When boot is fully completed (Boot Camp icon present in system tray and services lauched), manual lauch of Macs Fan Control is successfull.
I therefore wrote a script in the windows startup folder to delay by 20s the lauch of Macs Fan Control which worked well.
I have updated to the last beta 4 and this does not work anymore (I have done some other updates so I am not absolutely sure whether the new version is responsible.)
Nevertheless, the 'Autostart minimized with system' still does not work and manual launch after boot is still OK.
Thanks a lot for your work, hoping you can solve these issue.
Best regards.
