That’s Macs Fan Control. It lets you customize the fan parameters. I find my mini runs warm, so I use this little app to make the fan kick on at a lower temperature and it keeps the machine cooler.

Using it for the few days and it is indeed great. I set it on CPU1 temp. And spread fan from 60 to 90 Celsius degrees Seems to be ideal on my Mac Air. Thank you again

Set the sensor to CPU PECI, the thermal sensor for the entire CPU. It ensures that if a non-monitored core starts heating up, it can't rage out the others.

I thought that CPU core 1 is used as a primary in most (all) cases. But I changed it to PECI. It seems to be a better point
