[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1563890, member: 56379"] Charlie…I took a quick look at that. How is it different than using SMCfancontrol (which I've also seen as a sort-of solution to the fan problem)? One of the issues I'm having is (if I'm using a non-Apple HD internally)…is the computer won't boot from the drive (with an OS installed on it of course). It would be great if the non-Apple internal HD would boot the computer…then I would only have to deal with the high rpm fan issue. I know that you mentioned the SATA cable. Thing is the non-Apple internal HD works fine if I boot from an external HD (with an OS). And it will sometimes boot the computer if the computer has "warmed" up. But if I let the computer turned off for like 2 hours (gotten cold again)…then it won't boot from the non-Apple internal HD again. Very frustrating. - Nick [/QUOTE]
