Hi there!
I have an iMac (2008ish), running 10.6.8
Anyway, the fan on the iMac will speed up, to a point where you can hear it very well (and it gets very annoying), after the dock shows up (Not right on startup)
I took it to the apple store, and they ran diagnostics, but said they couldn't fix anything argh...
The CPU fan is running at 3900 rpm, which I believe is extremely abnormal, considering the only programs I use are firefox, and mail.app
I have reinstalled the OS, and there are no files that could be the problem
Does anybody know of any solutions? I have tried multiple fan control apps (smc, fan control, etc.), but none of them let you control the MAX the fan speed is (as that is the problem!)
Any help/app suggestions you could provide would be fantastic!
Thanks a lot!
Grant
