TG Pro for Mac v2.40 Advanced Fan Control Temperature Monitoring Activated Version Download

TG Pro (Temperature Gauge Pro) is a professional macOS hardware monitoring and management tool. It can accurately read various internal sensor data of Mac, monitor the temperature and fan speed of key components such as CPU, GPU, and logic board in real time, and provide manual or automatic fan control, diagnostic reports, and other functions. It is a powerful assistant to ensure stable operation and performance release of Mac. According to our actual tests, this software runs perfectly on Macs with M1, M2, and Intel chips, and its background daemon uses very few resources, with almost no impact on daily use experience.

I. Detailed Explanation of Core Interface and Workspace

The main interface of TG Pro is intuitive and mainly divided into the following areas:

1. Menu Bar Icon: After launch, TG Pro will display an icon in the menu bar at the top of the screen (by default, it shows CPU temperature). Click to quickly view key sensor status or perform common operations. This icon supports custom colors and display content; you can set it to show only temperature values or also fan speeds.
2. Main Window (“Status” Tab):
   • Sensor List: The main part of the window displays all detected sensors in a list, divided into two categories: “Temperature” and “Fan”. Each row shows the sensor name, current value, progress bar, and threshold line. The progress bar color gradually changes from green to red as temperature rises, providing very direct visual feedback.
   • Control Bar: The top of the window contains buttons such as “Pause Monitoring”, “Refresh”, “Log”, and “Preferences”. The bottom of the window displays the “Fan Control Mode” selector (System/Manual/Auto) and the “Restore System Control” button. The arrangement logic of these buttons is clear, and even beginners can quickly get started.
3. “Log” Tab: Records the history of all temperature and fan speed changes as well as system events (such as fan mode switching), which can be filtered by time and exported. Log data supports CSV format export, making it convenient for further analysis in Excel or Numbers.
4. “Diagnostics” Tab: Provides a one-click function to generate a system status report, including detailed sensor data, Mac model information, etc., for troubleshooting. This report is “golden evidence” when seeking help from Apple Support or third-party repair personnel.
5. “Preferences” Window: Allows in-depth configuration of various software settings, including notifications, menu bar display, fan control strategy, units (℃/℉), etc. It is recommended that first-time users keep the default settings and gradually adjust after becoming familiar.

II. Complete Operation Process: From Launch to Exporting Reports

1. Launch and Initial Setup

Operation: Find and double-click the “TG Pro” icon in the “Applications” folder. On first launch, the software will request accessibility permissions (for fan control) and notification permissions. Please click “Open” or “Allow” in the system prompt box.

2. Core Monitoring and Viewing

After launch, the TG Pro main window will automatically open and start real-time monitoring.

1. View Temperature: In the “Temperature” section of the main window, view the current temperature of each component (such as CPU PECI, GPU Die). The red dashed line on the progress bar represents the preset high-temperature threshold for that sensor. You can manually adjust the alarm point by clicking on the threshold line.
2. View Fan Speed: In the “Fan” section of the main window, view the current speed (RPM) of each fan (such as left fan, right fan). Some Mac models have only one fan, and only one entry will be displayed here.
3. Use Menu Bar for Quick View: Click the TG Pro icon in the menu bar to quickly view your preset 1-2 key sensor readings (configured in Preferences). This allows you to keep track of your Mac’s “body temperature” without opening the main window.

3. Adjust Fan Control Mode

This is one of the core functions of TG Pro. The control mode is located at the bottom of the main window.

1. System Control: Select “System” from the drop-down menu. Fans will be managed by the native macOS system. This is the most worry-free mode and suitable for most daily use scenarios.
2. Manual Control: Select “Manual” from the drop-down menu. At this point, you can drag the slider to the right of each fan to directly set its fixed target speed. Shortcut: There is no global shortcut for switching modes, but you can use Command + 1 to open the main window. Note that in manual mode, fans will maintain a constant speed and will not automatically adjust according to temperature.
3. Automatic Control: Select “Auto” from the drop-down menu. TG Pro will automatically adjust fan speed according to your set temperature thresholds (configured in Preferences). When the temperature exceeds the threshold, fan speed will increase to enhance heat dissipation. This is the best mode to balance quietness and heat dissipation.

Operation: After selecting “Auto” mode, click the “Preferences” button (gear icon) next to it, or go to “TG Pro” -> “Preferences” in the menu bar, enter the “Fan” tab, and set the trigger thresholds for each temperature sensor and fan boost strategy. It is recommended to set the CPU temperature threshold at around 70℃ and GPU at around 75℃, which is a relatively conservative and safe range.

4. Generate and Export Diagnostic Reports

When you need to provide feedback to technical support or analyze by yourself, you can generate a diagnostic report.

1. Click the “Diagnostics” tab at the top of the main window.
2. Click the “Generate Diagnostic Report” button. TG Pro will collect current system status information.
3. After the report is generated, the content will be displayed in the text box below. You can click the “Copy” button to copy the entire text to the clipboard, or click the “Save” button to export the report as a text file. It is recommended to save the report in .txt format for cross-platform sharing.

III. Advanced Tips for Common Functions

1. Customize Menu Bar Display: Go to “Preferences” -> “Menu Bar”, where you can:
   • Select the specific sensors to display in the menu bar (such as maximum CPU temperature, a certain fan speed).
   • Customize the display format (compact, icon, etc.).
   • Set the content of the operation menu displayed when clicking the menu bar icon. You can put the most commonly used sensors at the top.
2. Set High Temperature Notifications: Go to “Preferences” -> “Notifications”, where you can set temperature limits for specific sensors. When the temperature exceeds this limit, TG Pro will issue an alert through the macOS Notification Center, even if the software is running in the background. This is especially useful for users who perform rendering or compilation work for long periods.
3. Log Analysis and Filtering: In the “Log” tab, use the filters at the top (such as “Errors Only”, “Fan Changes Only”) to quickly locate specific events and analyze Mac’s heat dissipation performance under high-temperature tasks. You can determine whether your heat dissipation strategy is effective by viewing temperature peaks in the logs.
4. Create Custom Fan Curves (Advanced): In “Preferences” -> “Fan”, in addition to simple threshold triggers, you can also configure more complex strategies for “Auto” mode, for example, based on “Maximum CPU Temperature” or “GPU Temperature”, setting multi-level temperature-fan speed correspondences to achieve smoother and more precise heat dissipation control. This requires some understanding of Mac’s heat dissipation characteristics, and it is recommended to start with preset solutions.
