[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1743420, member: 46727"] The temperature sensor is on the logic board. The 2012 iMac has only one fan unlike previous models that had three fans. The sensors control the speed of the fan which is why if you don't replace the hard drive with an exact Apple replacement the fan will rev up to max rpm. The cable that Mac Sales sells allows you to use any ordinary hard drive or SSD as a replacement. Did you go to the ifixit web site to get an idea of the work involved and where the sensors are located? [/QUOTE]
