Fan Control Commentarydo not install Derman version for imac - Version: 1.2, 12/24/2009 09:56AM PST

glennm1--2008
I installed the Derman version for the imac and found that it irreversibly set the minimum fan speeds higher than the factory settings. When I asked them for help to simply uninstall their software, they refused and instead said I should google various forums looking for tips. Apparently, Derman Enterprises (which I think is just one guy named Bryan) has defined a new software category called "unsupported" where they put out software with the stated intention of helping but then seemingly get a kick out of letting troubled users fend for themselves. I've installed lots of freeware/shareware where the developers are more than happy to help. If you search Derman, reviews on all their software are very mixed, which I now understand.

Fortunately, the folks at lobotomo are principled and actually provide instructions for uninstalling and resetting: http://www.lobotomo.com/products/FanControl/

I will never again install anything from Derman. Be careful with their software because they will not help.

Good news...

Appears to work OK with my early '09 MBP running Snow Leopard.
