I was not so daring as to tinker with fans related to my CPU or logic board, and I would recommend caution on account of the (costly) damage you could do to your system.įolded into the bottom of the Main Window, TG Pro recorded an improper shutdown of my system and also provided fan and sensor diagnostics (both of which, thankfully, were functioning normally). Sure enough, I could hear the fan whirl inside, and I watched the temperature of the related component (Palmrest Proximity) drop.
To test the slider, I increased the fan speed under my palm rest. Most importantly, the drop-down menu allows you to access the Main Window, an overview of all your system stats.įrom this pane you can sort by component (CPU, Battery, Logic Board, Northbridge, and Palm Rest) or view all components together.Įach units temperature is tracked by means of a green progress bar, and you can evaluate whether temperatures are too high if they pass a small threshold line on those bars. Im grateful for TG Pros granularity its seven preference panes let me control everything from how often TG Pro updates its stats (from once per second to once per minute) to whether it displays temperatures in Celsius or Fahrenheit (the default of Celsius may flummox North American users). Tunabelly Softwares Temperature Gauge (TG) Pro (14.99) lifts the aluminum veil and enables propellerheads, by trade or temperament, to monitor and control the fans and heat sensors inside their Macs.įrom a single window, users can access component temperatures, tinker with fan speeds, and check out diagnostics.Īlthough TG Pro is undeniably esoteric, this powerful utility ought to entice users of all stripes to learn more about their Macs internals.įrom that drop-down menu, you can access an overview of your Macs component temperatures.įor example, I can tell you that, as I write this, my CPU diode is running at 137 degrees Fahrenheit, whereas my palm rest is a temperate 82 degrees. Whats happening in there According to Apple, were on a need to know basis, and we neednt worry about anything inside that laser-etched unibody enclosure.
