- 24" Intel iMac
I have an Aluminum Intel 24" 2.4ghz iMac which was purchased a little more than a year ago.
This week the hard drive that came with the computer went six feet under and so I replaced it with a newer one. Since my 1 year warranty was over (a week ago), I replaced the hard drive myself.
After hooking everything up, it boots up with the "macintosh" noise fine, then the fan kicks in and stays on and fairly loud (~3300rpm all the time). All the internal temperatures are fine too. This annoys me, so I switch back to the old hard drive (which still can be booted up), and the fan stays completely silent like it always was.
Now, is there something that I did wrong with my swap? Or is my new hard drive with a faster, I think, RPM (Seagate 750gig 7200rpm) causing this? Any help would be awesome. I've tried resetting the SMU many times, and that has not worked. Thanks guys
