Can TPfancontrol & NHC, both be run at the same time???

[djThinkbad]

Hi

I was just wondering if both TPfancontrol & NHC could be installed and kept running together?

If so, is it as simple as just installing both?

My T43 is both HOT and NOISY, so I just need to use both programs to get this beast under control

Thanks

I remember reading a post, (on here I think), that they do NOT play well together.

If you simply use the (simple and very efficient!) Search function available on this forum, and e.g. search for the two words "TPfancontrol NHC" (and remember to check "Search for all terms"), and as a start just restrict your search to the T4x forum, then a great deal of useful information immediately turn up, such as:

It's a pity that NHC cannot be used simultaneously with the TPFanControl. They are both excellent programs.

From my experience dealing with the T43, TPFanControl does a better job of reducing the fan noise by slowing down the fan speed by force, in exchange for a hotter machine.

The NHC won't change the way the BIOS controls the fan speed. So when the fan speed is slowed down, it means less heat is generated in the system. (less power consumption & more battery juice)

So use NHC as long as the fan noise is tolerable; use TPFanControl when desperate (such as in a library)
