Set max. fan speed in RPM not fixed value

[jakubsimacek]

I can set a fixed RPM value (let say 4000 for both fans), however, after some time of inactivity the OS does not need even such speed. The tempeature goes to 50C and when I set to Auto, the fans slower to around 1500 RPMs. I'd like to set the maximum speed and let the OS slower it down if needed.

Hi, I'd definitely like this feature too and would pay for Pro if it's a Pro feature. 90% of the time my MacBook Air Intel 2020 fan runs slow enough to be silent, far lower than 4000 RPM, but 10% of the time it roars at >7000 RPM. If I manually set 4000 RPM the CPU and other sensors are no hotter than at full RPM, so I won't really be affecting device life. I'd like to set a maximum ceiling and have "normal" automatic functioning up to that. Setting always at 4000 RPM however is faster / louder than usually needed. And, it's always some background process that is cycling on and off that ramps it up to max RPM - like periodic cloud backup services - so it is inconvenient to manually activate / deactivate Macs Fan Control on demand.

I second that and I too would buy the Pro version just to have such feature
