G5 iMac Fan Speeds/Temps?

  1. Paul Hutchings - 12 May 2006

    I have a 20" Rev A G5 iMac. I wouldn't say it's overly noisy (I know there were some rogue ones) but I'm a little surprised how much the fans seem to have ramped up with the recent spate of warm weather.

    Right now I'm seeing the following number using X Resource Graph:

    CPU T-Diode 56.5 degrees C
    Hard Drive 53 degrees C
    CPU fan 2221 rpm
    Hard Drive 3421 rpm
    System Fan 2536 rpm

    I'm assuming X Resource Graph is detecting the right sensors and reporting correctly etc. but does this look about right?

    I know there's a lot of variables but the Mac isn't doing much right now and obviously there's no central heating on so it's just sat in a "normal" room with the windows open - no load as such.

    cheers,
    Paul

    The G5 chips run quite hot so 56 is actually quite low for a CPU temp iirc. I know we had a G5 with a fan 'issue' and that would regularly run at 66-76 deg c
