[QUOTE="Thumpernator, post: 1743446, member: 265657"] The temp sensor is internal of the hard drive on your 2011. You could do what I just did in my 2011 and that is to replace the HD with a SSD from MacSales. They have a complete kit that is a piece of cake to install. You could then attach your original HD as an external and boot up from it. Download and use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the original HD and then transfer it over to the new SSD. I picked up an external enclosure for about $15 at Best Buy in order to attach the external HD. Now, I'm not one of the really smart Guru's here, so there might be a better way. But this is what I did with my mid-2011 with a slight variance. [/QUOTE]
