On Tuesday, software developer eidac released version 2.4 of its smcFanControl utility, a free program that allows users to adjust the minimum fan speed of their Intel-based Macs, thereby allowing the unit to potentially run cooler.
The new version, a 768 kilobyte download, offers the following fixes and changes:
– Support for OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion / Gatekeeper.
– Support for Retina Macbook Pro.
– smcFanControl is now a 64 Bit application.
– AutoStart works now without AppleScript.
– Support for Mac OS X 10.4 is deprecated.
– The source code for smcFanControl is now available at Github.
smcFanControl 2.4 is available for free and requires an Intel-based Mac running Mac OS X 10.5 or later to install and run.
If you’ve tried the new version and have any feedback to offer, please let us know in the comments.

just installed on mountain lion 10.8.2 on a macbook pro early 2011 using intel i7 processor running at 2ghz, 16gb ram and a 256mb SSD. Running very cool and nice so far!
