My logic board does still turn on, but it no longer makes a video connection, thus making it impossible to boot. Sorry, but I don't want new users reading this thread and end up feeling like they need this utility. WOW now I can totally make my computer run like a gillion years longer. They don't actually have any function.īut wait, a godsend.
Sure, Apple build LOTS of heat sensors (that can be seen with 3rd party software) in every iMac to monitor the temps and adjust fan speed accordingly (fans speeds are increased during your so called "processing CPU and/or GPU intensive tasks.") just for the fun of it.
#SNET SMCFANCONTROL HOW TO#
They don't know how to build computers, just pretty paperweights. Sure, A multibillion dollar company has idiot engineers working for them that do not know how to properly build a computer. Sure, Apple is building devices that they know will fail in 2 years because of heat, But at the same time are selling 3 year applecare warranties.
Go ahead, reject reality & substitute your own. (A lot) Hell, on my old HP laptop in 1 years time, I had the ethernet fail twice, and the motherboard fail once, all from power surges. I can't even remember how many electronic devices I have had destroyed by surges. Number 1 cause of hardware failure is surge.

They want to create very silent computers so they use low default fan revolutions, which is no problem at normal use but leads to much higher temperatures when processing CPU and/or GPU intensive tasks.Ī mac just works? If it isn't fried to dead, that is.Ĭhances are ridiculously high that your logic board failure had NOTHING to do with heat.

They want to create very thin computers but then it is not a good idea to install hot G5 chips in them. People at Apple choose form over function. I refute your statement that Apple engineers know what they are doing. On my new iMac, I use smcFanControl to spin the fans a bit faster - thus providing much more efficient cooling - but they certainly don't reach the maximum speed possible, so I don't think the fans will worn out after while.Īnd even if some fans worn out after a while, replacing these will certainly be a lot cheaper than replacing a $800 logic board! I noticed no leaking capacitors so that couldn't have been the problem. I had an iMac G5 which died after only two years of use due to a logic board failure and I think high temperatures might have caused this (sometimes CPU temperatures rised above 70° C). Thanks! Oh, according to iStats, these are the current temps with the new fan speeds:Īmbient: 26 degrees (no, the iMac is not boxed in, and it does not feel that hot in here)Īre these safe temps? My CPU is cranking cuz I am doing SETI and Folding. If it's not safe, I will of course remove smcFan Control. Does anyone know? I would really appreciate the advice. If it is, I am wondering what the optimal fan speeds are for my particular iMac. The machine runs a tad cooler, but I am wondering if this was a safe thing to do. I upped the fan speeds (CPU 2000, HDD 2500, ODD 1500). I have a white 2.16 iMac, and I noticed it was running hot, so I did a little research and I downloaded smcFanControl 2.

I'm sorry of this is the wrong place to ask (none of the other threads seemed appropriate to me), and if the post needs to be moved, please feel free to do so! I have seen other posts about this, but none seem to answer my questions.
