My friend use Magican to monitor her Mac, clear junk files. However, there has a problem to set fan speed.
Magican is able to control fan speed, but it unable help her control three different fan speed separately. So she chooses to another app "smcFanControl" to control fan speed.
But it seems the two apps are not compatible with each other, Why?

You can't have 2 different processes trying to control the same hardware at the same time. Can you use Magican for all the other stuff and disable it for fan control so that smcFanControl can do it job unhindered?
