    The app is buggy and outdated. Moreover it doesn't have UI. Do yourself a favor and use free "Macs Fan Control" app (google for it), it supports all apple hardware on Windows and also Mac.

    Excellent job !!! Good try... I love this app. Bypassed me from many troubles... I had many BSODs (randomly) and I had no idea what was going on... My configuration is a system of an Apple iMac "Core i5" 2.66 27-Inch (Late 2009), with the following identifiers: Late 2009 - MB953LL/A - iMac11,1. - This is a known toaster sytem... I mostly operating this system under Bootcamp partition, wearing Windows 7, Ultimate - 64bit (many applications under Windows platform). I had NO FANS at all. Take a look at the temperatures I had before running MacFan: (Fan #0 (ODD) was running at 1010 rpm) << after MacFan 3000 (Fan #1 ( HDD) was running at 1095 rpm) !!! << after MacFan 4000 (Fan #2 (CPU) was running at 935 rpm.) !!! << after MacFan 2000 So, I fixed it with this wonderful app. Thanks again to the team of developers.

    Hi, I couldn't understand why this tool didn't work on my Macbook Pro 15" (Early 2008 model). I tried it on Windows 7 32bit (with bootcamp). When I run this command: C:/MacFan0_65\MacFan.exe I get : "PROBLEM LOADING IO DRIVERS. EXECUTION STOPPED" Any response from a successful user of this tool would be highly appreciated. You can share your experience to me at buried.shopno@gmail.com. Thanks.
