![]() ![]() Lol, increasing component life span You gotta be kidding me Apple has engineers that figure out what temps things need to run at for maximum efficiencylife.ĮDIT: better, i google it for you: Oh, and yes, this is applied to most of any kind of electrical component, not only capacitors and voltage regulators.Ĭooling your machine by a few degrees is unlikely to extend the useful lifespan beyond anything youd notice anyway.Īsk anyone who knows that each time you increase temps by 10C in any electrical component, life span is reduced by - 50 in theory. P.S.S - You are MUCH more likely to damage a fan by running it at higher speeds. It is soooo rare to see a PC component take a dump with out cause. I wonder how all those Macs in school ever survived for years and years with out any tweaking. Thanks Oh, according to iStats, these are the current temps with the new fan speeds: CPU A: 52 degrees GPU Diode: 49 degrees Ambient: 26 degrees (no, the iMac is not boxed in, and it does not feel that hot in here) Memory Control: 46 degrees HD Bay 1: 40 degrees Optical Drive: 37 degrees HD: 38 degrees Are these safe temps My CPU is cranking cuz I am doing SETI and Folding.Ī replacement fan is cheep to replace anyway compaired to the other bits and peices the fans are keeping cool. ![]() If it is, I am wondering what the optimal fan speeds are for my particular iMac. The machine runs a tad cooler, but I am wondering if this was a safe thing to do. Im sorry of this is the wrong place to ask (none of the other threads seemed appropriate to me), and if the post needs to be moved, please feel free to do so I have a white 2.16 iMac, and I noticed it was running hot, so I did a little research and I downloaded smcFanControl 2.
