I filmed a short tutorial on using TG Pro for new Mac users.
This app helps keep temperatures low by increasing Macs' fan rates. I've found that setting the fans a bit faster by default remains inaudible yet boosts performance and more importantly, comfort if using the Macbook on your lap.
Pros
- Comfortably using Macbook on your lap for a prolonged amount of time
- Helps other components last longer due to less heat ($300-$700 of repairs)
Cons
- Costs $10/$20 after the trial period
- Decreases fan lifespan (but only $50 to replace fans)
Thoughts? Feedback?
