[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1630818"] Chances are pretty high that you forgot to plug back in (or did so incorrectly) the HD temperature sensor cable on the front. I have done that upgrade hundreds of times (used to work for a Mac repair shop) and that was a crucial step -- and I always knew immediately if I had forgotten to do it! SMCFanControl -- VERY VERY BAD IDEA if my guess is correct. It's a band-aid at best, and really not recommended as it doesn't fix anything, just makes things worse or burns out the fans much faster.
