Download Phantasmic 1.3.2 (Mac) – Download Free

Apple’s Mac computers come with built-in firmware that controls fan speeds based on the temperature of various hardware components and manages the temperature inside the Mac’s case, but in some cases you may need to manually control your machine’s fan speed.

Monitor your Mac’s hardware temperature from the menu bar

This is where applications such as fantastic Comes in to allow you to bypass the system firmware to adjust your Mac’s fan speed to your own specific needs.

In addition to allowing you to control fan speed based on temperature triggers, Phantasmic lets you keep tabs on your Mac’s temperature sensors and fans.

Once booted on your Mac, Phantasmic is designed to track temperature and fan speed and won’t make any adjustments. However, it will ask you to enter your administrator password to install a helper tool that will be used to adjust your computer’s fan speed once you decide to configure it to control your system’s fans.

Helps you set custom boot temperatures for Mac fans

Additionally, the Phantasmic app adds a status bar item that displays the temperature of the currently selected sensor and the speed of the fan in RPM for easy tracking.

Phantasmic’s menu bar item also helps you open the Preferences window, where you can set the app to start automatically at login and set its window to always be on top.

Through Phantasmic’s configuration interface, you can select the fans and sensors to monitor, and set the fan start and maximum temperature by checking the “Modify Fan” option. On this screen, you can also select one of three variable speed fan control profiles from the RPM/temperature drop-down menu.

If you decide you need to restore the default fan control settings, you must exit Phantasmic, uncheck the “Modify Fan” option, or click the “Reset to System Defaults” option in the status bar item to remove all preferences and reset the application to the original state.

If you need a tool to control the fans of non-Apple hardware devices, automatically start the fans at lower temperatures to prevent your Mac from heating up, consider everything,
