All intel MacBooks I’ve used allowed controlling the fans manually, at least. It’s not relevant for the M1 Air since it has no fans, of course.

- qwerty456127 5y agoI don't mean controlling the fans. I mean voluntarily throttling down the frequency of the CPU (and telling it it should not up-throttle even when the load goes high) so the computer actually stays cold even without the fans.
- lucian1900 5y agoSure, you could do that too at least on Intel ones. Generally it makes sense to do it indirectly with the fans. It’s really not needed on the M1. The only time my Air got warm was in a game.
