Fan Control For Mac

I have tried 'SMCfanControl' and 'Fan Control for Mac' but they are way to complicated, all i want is a simple app to set the speed of my HDD fan too about 1600rpm, and it will keep it at that when ever i boot up mac etc. Until i tell it to stop. Macs Fan Control is a software solution to noise problems such as those caused by iMac HDD replacement, or overheating problems like those found on a MacBook Pro.

Macs Fan Control allows you to monitor and control almost any aspect of your computer's fans, with support for controlling fan speed, temperature sensors pane, menu-bar icon, and autostart with system option.

I was overheating to the point of shutdown, but my fans remained at idle speed at all times, even after SMC and NVRAM resets. Macs Fan Control worked beautifully with High Sierra and Snow Leopard (dual-boot disk).

The app lets you monitor the temperature of all sensors (MBP 6.2 has 12) and then control the fan speeds. The app allowed me to discover that the GPU diode temp sensor was only working intermittently, which likely explains why the SMC stopped controlling the fans. Now I can control each fan independently with a working sensor of your choosing or set them manually. The app also lets you revert to auto mode, which returns control to the SMC, which is of no use in my case. On a side-note, I also found that replacing the thermal grease on the GPU and CPUs helped a lot (used Arctic MX-4).
