My 2009 24" aluminium Imac DuoCore 3.06 Intel, 2x2GB SDRAM, running 10.5.8 tends to heat a lot - the upper left corner gets real hot when I process large batches of photos. I've downloaded smcFan Control and it tells me that the CPU fan doesn't spin - 000rpm. (The other 2 fans (OD-HDD) can be adjusted alright and, more specifically heard; so far so good). OTT : When younger the mac "sighed" heavily when I resumed operation after it went to economy mode. It no longer does. I don't know how to open a Mac to check that CPU fan and before I take it to the repair shop I'd like to know - what the "normal" temps for the CPU are - which temp NOT to exceed AND if any of you has encountered this problem what the outcome was. Thank you in anticipation for informed replies.
