I have an iMac that has a 3rd party HD installed in it. The iMac has over heated as a result of this HD not having the proprietary thermal sensor on it. I saw a post here that referenced some threads that talked about a work around for this issue but I searched for a while and regardless of my search terms I couldn't seem to find the specifics of this workaround. Can anybody point me in the right direction? Blog- My random musings as I document the spiritual changes I go through. "And now these three remain: faith, hope and love.

One of the work arounds I do remember was installing SMCFanControl and adjust the hard drive fan speed. If I remember correctly, using a non Apple drive causes the HD fan to go into high speed and remain that way. I haven't heard of the drive overheating though. |

 How do you upgrade the hard drive in the "Late 2009," "Mid-2010" and "Mid-2011" (21.5-Inch and 27-Inch) Aluminum iMac models? What type of storage do they support? Is it even possible to upgrade these models? @ EveryMac.com HTH, - Nick - Computer slow, too many "beachballs", read this: Beachballs - Computer seems slower than it used to?
