Randy, I forgot to say I use a 2011 imac still on Snow Leopard and loving it but I want to make my fans come on at 100% to blow the dust out.ĭownload and run Macs Fan Control ( ). Not very good ones here in Central FL and I don’t want to take back off. I don’t want to take it to a computer tech.
#FAN CONTROL IMAC FULL#
The fans used to come on at full speed occasionally to blow dust out but they haven’t for two years. It was getting hot to the touch and I blew the top slit with compressed air, also in the back. Is there a way I can make them come on HIGH. Randy, I want my fans to come on at full speed to blow the dust out. Just follow the OWC video and you’ll do well. At some point I’m going to add 4 more GB of memory and I figure I’ll be able to use this machine for a few more years. No fan noise and the new SSD was much more responsive. Finally I updated to macOS High Sierra (can’t go any higher on the mid-2011), and the machine ran like a clock. I bent the Display Port Cable initially and had to order another one from ebay.
Display Port Cable (not too difficult to disconnect but quite difficult to reattach). Now you have the four cables to disconnect: So, off comes the glass (you really don’t need suction cups), and after eight screws out comes the screen. #FAN CONTROL IMAC UPGRADE#
I did not want to pay the $39.00 but I wanted to do the upgrade the right way and I knew that a hardware solution to the fan problem was the right way to go.
#FAN CONTROL IMAC SOFTWARE#
I did not want to control the fans via a software solution so I “bit the bullet” and bought the $39.00 OWC In-Line Digital Thermal Sensor Cable. I also had to be constantly adjusting the smcFanControl settings.Ībout two months ago I decided to go with an SSD drive and I chose the Crucial MX500 SSD. I choose smcFanControl and I was fairly satisfied but I did notice that the back of the iMac still got very hot to the touch. I certainly didn’t want to open the thing back up so I went with a software solution. It therefore ran the fan speed at 100% all the time. My new drive had no temperature sensor on it, so my iMac motherboard didn’t know what the HD temperature was. The Hard Drive that Apple uses from the factory has a proprietary controller on it for reporting the drive temperatures to the motherboard. When I booted up the new install, the iMac fans went crazy. A few years ago I installed a new 1TB Hard Drive (spinning SATA).

smcFanControl 2.4 wird nun auch von Mac OS X 10.I have a wonderful 27″ mid-2011 iMac. Tecnico Apple Cerveteri, Ladispoli, Civitavecchia, Fregene. Arriva smcFanControl 2.4, ora pienamente compatibile con Mountain Lion - SlideToMac Blog. smcFanControl : Contrôler les ventilateurs de votre Mac !. I hope this helps someone out there as it was not easy to figure this out. Noise gone and now I can actually hear my music over the fan. That should set the max value to “0” which disables it. Applications/smcFanControl.app/Contents/Resources/smc -k F0Mx -w 0000 Here is finally how I was able to do it, thanks to smcFanControl.Ģ) Open up Terminal and type this exactly: I never used my DVD drive on my imac and all I simply wanted to do was DISABLE the damned fan through OSX terminal. Google could not directly provide a solution as it appears to be quite rare. I had spent hours on Google trying to fix this without having to lug my iMac into Apple or try removing the molex cable from the drive manually. My iMac (2011 27″) had a broken ODD (Optical Disk Drive, aka DVD drive) fan. I am posting this in hopes to help someone else out there who was pulling their hair out like me for one simple, little problem. Also it was not running when I installed smcfancontrol.Īny ideas anyone? I know very little about Mac I got this from my dad when he died and it runs great, but hot. I have Temperature Monitor installed but it only reads the temps. I have no other fan control software running at all, and never have. I’m guessing “Sparkle” is the auto-update framework you guys used? I know of no other Sparkle. I had to restart and then delete the files. But then when I try to force quit the app, the system doesn’t show any running processes except the Finder. Then, when I attempt to delete the files, it won’t let me empty the trash because smcfancontrol is in use, and it also said something called “Sparkle” is in use as well. Upon launching the app I am greeted with the “not tested on my system” dialog, then Mac OS asks for Admin login, and after granting access the app simply does nothing. 2009 running OS X 10.6 and I have tried several versions of this software and none of them will run properly.
