[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1392406, member: 46727"] Yes, there are three fans in your iMac: 1. HDD 2. CPU 3. Optical Drive There is absolutely no need to install or use SMCFanControl as your iMac runs cool and does not need an "assist". Running any of the fans faster than the temperature sensors are designed to do will only make your iMac noisier and shorten the life of the fan(s). The iMac has an intake vent at its display bottom (near the memory module door) and an exhaust vent at the top of the display. Don't block either one. If you would like to monitor the temperatures and fan speeds, down the free iStat Pro Widget from [URL="http://islayer.com/apps/istatpro/"]here[/URL]. [/QUOTE]
