[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1743462, member: 46727"] Since your iMac is a 2011 model, the temp sensor for the hard drive is as member "Thumpernator" indicated. However, I would still replace the hard drive as it's very likely on its way out and will give you more trouble and corruption. And as we indicated above, the 2011 model has three fans: Hard Drive, Optical Drive, and CPU - all controlled by temp sensors. You already have the URLs for Mac Sales and ifixit. By the way, hard drive replacement for the 2011 model is easier than the newer models but still a complex process. [/QUOTE]
