#MAC PRO 2 1 RUN SMCFANCONTROL SERIES#

It gives the numbers I need but, How can I tell just what series my processor is ?

I went into the Intel website and fond this It would still be very helpful if Apple provided some numbers, However that is not the case so, this leaves me with only one option and, I'll have to dive into my IMac and research the individual components. That being said the fan speed settings and, machine temperatures would indeed be user specific. There are so many variables that one must factor into the mix. I suppose in many ways those temperature parameters I'm looking for, well is look seeking the holly grail. There could be a problem on the rise and, one would be clueless. However without providing such information, it could leave one with a false sense of security thinking ' All is good ', when indeed when these numbers are over looked. It's known that maintaining acceptable temperatures is vital for the life of the machine. One would think, that Apple would provide such information. I took a look at the link and, it sent my thinking into another direction, in short the light is turning on. For your iMac, judging by the temps you posted, a fan setting of ODD: 1000, HDD: 1500, and CPU: 1500 should be more than enough. If you want my opinion on temperatures I would say keep the hard drive under 50C, Power Supply under 60C, and GPU components under 55C. I would much rather have to replace my fans when they burn out then to have a power supply or hard drive failure. The way I see it the fans are there to keep your iMac cool and if they wear out faster because of it then so be it. This can usually be done by increasing the fans only a couple hundred rmp. The goal when using the fan controller is to only increase the fans as much as you need to keep the temps where you want them to be. However I am still an advocate of using SMCFC to keep temperatures lower. From my experience your temps are not that bad as I have seen a lot worse.

All we have to go by are what people post. When you ask this kind of question all you will get are opinions because Apple has not officially posted any kind of 'normal' internal temperature ranges. Thank you all in advance as I make my way through this lack of understanding and, Now confusing issue. Would it be best to only run samFanControl, when running demanding apps ? Now if I'm running a demanding app such as Final Cut Express it will get warmer yet. Here is my temps from what I first jumped on my ImacĪnd here are my temps after about an hour So know to me it all seems very debatable and, I'm hoping to find the truth of the matter. But, when I did more homework I'm reading this app will cause unneeded wear on my fans, Last night I noticed my temp running a bit high so, I installed and used smcFanControl 2.1, Now it did what it said and dropped my temp. Seems no matter where and or what I read, I get mixed, incorrect and or conflicting information. I have noticed that my IMac always seems to run a bit on the hot side, so I tried googling normal temps and, what one should do. First of all, I'll not make the claim to be a ' Know it all ' when it comes down to computer temperatures, Thus the reason for my posting.
