[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1807402, member: 190607"] My experience and personal conclusion is that Apple compromises in their fan settings, and part of that compromise is that they tend to set their Mac's fans (in just about all models) to be on the quiet side, rather than on the cool side. As a result, many mini's and iMac's run disturbingly hot much of the time. Since excess heat can lead to nasty problems in a personal computer, I often advise users to adjust their fans so that their Mac's run cooler. I, and many of the folks I advise, have had excellent success with the following program, set to make the fans come on earlier and more aggressively in general. There have been no problems with fans wearing out prematurely, and the Macs in question seem to run better with no loss of reliability.: smcFanControl (free) [url]https://www.eidac.de/?p=312[/url] [/QUOTE]
