So guys!

Need yours master help.

My machine MacBook Air mid 2012, 13 inches, which I have just replaced the fan, now, as soon as I turn the Mac on, the fan starts medially. I have no complain about the noise, it sounds really smooth, but is still trickling... sounds not normal. The performance is pretty good, no bug at all.
Now I will let you know all I have done already.

1- I have had reinstalled the system (Catalina) which is on its last update.
2- SMC- I have done all of those stuffs already.
3- Board- I looked at it and it seems ''perfect'', no stains, no dirty.
4- All, definitely, all systems, commands, programs, on the Mac works perfectly.
5- I have downloaded the TG PRO- and Mac fan control. TG PRO doesn't report any abnormality. The fan control reports about 5.800 rpm til 6.700, but I have NO CONTROL at all.
6- Since I have erased and reinstalled the system over again, I don't think is nothing related to software, bug, clean, anything like that.


PLEAAASEEEE, give me a reason!!!!!


Thanks a lot!
 
Sounds like a sensor isn’t working so it is failing safe (fans on). You could check that out or try smcfancontrol to manually set fan speed.

Thank you for your reply. But I have tried to USA SMC fan control and many other but they just seems not working as I set it to run a little slower. I have absolutely no control on the app. Any suggestion?
