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.
