Why is my fan running high but it's not registering any rpms?
The old fan on my laptop ran really loud, like a jet engine, so I thought I should buy a new one and replace it. It also didn't seem to really cool the laptop down.
It would always stay above 175-200*F. Well, I decided to replace it with one bought through iFixit.
Except now this one is always running really loud, like the last, except this time I can't change the RPM control. It is only registering at 000 rpm. But, it's cooling down the laptop.
I just don't know how I can get it to be quieter. Can someone help please?

Can you open the main Window of the App (just above the Preferences menu option). Hopefully it shows the sensors otherwise you'll need to buy it. This newer version appears to show less in the trial version than past versions ;-{

Sorry :-( You're still in the menu bar pull down.
The main window option is what you need to select from the pull down. Count up six menu items from the bottom of the pull down it will then open up a full window. Even there you might see the temps with the word Trial which sadly is something new in this release. You'll need to buy the app. But I promise you it's worth it!
