Any alternative apps? You'll get better gpu support from Afterburner, but if you have a weird chipset or an incompatible fan controller, good old SpeedFan still has a few tricks. Computer has come back from a repair shop wiped and is missing A vital app I used to control fan speeds and I cant redownload it.It might be worth running a tool to scan the drive and take a peek at the SMART data. Question - Are the loading times supposed to be this bad right now? That's not super common (but it does happen ofc).See continuation and screenshot below, as it did not fit in one comment. The computer just does normal browsing stuff, nothing out of the ordinary.

Nothing specific happened at the time, and no heavy resource software was running. This has not happened before and just started out of the sudden about 2 weeks ago, and it's constant since it started. As I said, my focus usually is CPU, but I don't think the GPU would run that high, more like 60-65, under 70. I did not pay too much attention to the GPU temperature, but to the CPU temperature, about two weeks ago randomly I felt with my hand that the back of the iMac was quite warm, so I checked the temperatures. I also opened the iMac to try to find what is going on and clean it, and all the other parts were pretty much cooled down ( it must have taken just minutes to open it ) while the PS was still quite warm. Sure, but the GPU part of the case is downright cold, while the PS part of the case is warm. GPU not the same as you feel on the case. I would also recommend you check your connections in case you reversed one (sensor or fan) as they are located next to each other and look the same. It also sounds like you’ve done a bit of work in your system how about given us some history what you’ve done. Post a snapshot of the main window showing all of the sensors so we can see things too Adding images to an existing question How about installing a good thermal monitoring app like TG Pro so you can see more effectively whats happening and when. There are three fans in this system: CPU/GPU, HDD & ODD.Īs for why the power supply is getting hot and why you have a hot GPU will need further investigation. The HDD fan is mounted under the logic board which is why you need to lift it off. So you do need to replace it following the guide you’ve already found. The AHT error 4MOT / 1 / 40000003: HDD- 1499 is telling us the hard drive fan has failed. If it’s happening more often what are you doing when it happens. Lets backup here as you told us how much higher the temp went but you didn’t tell us the start point: “ Sensor says the GPU is overheating (about 15 - 20 Celsius above what it showed until now)” Can you tell us how you measured this and if this was just one time jump.

Think of it this way… Your oven is maybe warm to the touch but the you won’t touch the heating element inside! To start with the temp at the GPU is not the same as what you would feel on the external case. Why does the GPU sensor says it’s overheating when it’s not?

Is there a 3rd HDD fan under the mobo as it seems, but not very well presented in the last 2 steps of the first link?īy the error code above does it mean that the HDD fan under the mobo is failing and that’s why the PS is getting hotter? Why am I getting an Apple Hardware Error 4MOT/1/40000003:HDD-1364 IMac Intel 20" EMC 21 Hard Drive Fan Replacement Ran an apple Hardware test and got this: 4MOT / 1 / 40000003: HDD- 1499 I did not pay attention to the PS temperature, before, so not sure if it is overheating, but it’s the only thing that is warm on the back of the iMac, GPU is cool, SSD is cool.

What might be overheating a bit is the power source, but this is located way above the GPU. Sensor says the GPU is overheating (about 15 - 20 Celsius above what it showed until now) but it’s actually not, it’s actually really cool when you check the back case with your hand.
