Glad you got it sorted. The optical sensor cable is the best work around available. Apple seem to be getting overly sensitive to people upgrading things themselves :/

Hi Mark, if you check my up to date post I managed to work around this by buying an optical drive sensor.

Update: Replace my 2009 iMac’s HD with a 2T drive. Bought an optical cable, stuck it to my drive and my fans run at a quite 1300 rpm most of the time. GREAT idea; works perfectly.

Hi Tom. did u have any success solving your full speed fan problem. I have just completed this same task with exactly the same results. Not sure whether to short the pins on the sensor. I’d appreciate you letting me know your workaround.
Many Thanks

Thanks for your experience. A week before the holiday break I noticed horrific performance from my 2009 27 inch iMac. Looking at the S.M.A.R.T details, mine said the drive was “failing”. Current drive is a Seagate, 1Gig. So I’ve decided to upgrade to a WD Caviar (Green) 2Tb. I was researching the replacement issue and was about to conceded that I might have fan control issues, till I read your experience.

I do have one reservation I’d like your input on I don’t understand how the “signals” that once came from an HD match those of that will now be generated via an external temp sensor. Wouldn’t the HD be giving the computer data that differs? Meaning isn’t the computer expecting HD data?
