Room temperature for SSD - iMac 2011

I had a company local 'geek' install a 1 TB Samsung EVO 850 SSD in my iMac 2011 after the factory 1 TB WD HDD went belly upwards. The iMac works fine after installation, but the fan runs continuously. I think (and check with technician) they have not connect the thermal sensor that I understand other forums, there is a spare cable. anyway. I installed Mac Fan Control, which was extremely easy and place the SSD fan to operate "sensor value based on '-'Ambient '. the default value for the SSD shows the temperature the fan will begin to increase is 75 degrees F, with a temperature Max to 95 degrees f. once set the fan has appeased and now always so gently purr, but I wonder if the settings are correct.

The Question: what would be the temperature for a SDS now in an iMac 2011? are the default settings listed above in the correct range? where can I find this info. I searched on the web...

Thanks in advance.

The vendor who installed the SSD correct wiring, the fan control installation should work (although I don't recommend generally), but the seller must install things correctly. after 2009 iMacs had HD with temporary sensors integrated in the HD, your SSD does not only so you are correct in your statement that he needs the heat sensor wire. OWC provides one with their kits.

BTW, if you have taken your computer to Best Buy, which was your first mistake. I would not let any tech BBY within 5 miles of my equipment.

  • Re: Room Temperature for Satellite A100-999

    Hi all

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A100-999 (old lil :/) with XP

    I was wondering what are the temperature ranges at low, medium or high performance for the motherboard and CPU.

    at the present time about the temperature I have are: (Celsius)
    Motherboard: 60 + -.
    CPU: 65 years and more-

    When it has a high performance, it reached 90 - 95 +-. And if im right... the CPU with this temperature control can be activated automatically right?
    As im not an expert in the field, can someone guide me a bit?

    From now to detect temperatures im using the software: Everest AIDA64. (I guess that temperatures are not 100% Reliable, but they give me an idea).
    If there are ways to cool the laptop (I know cleaning is one of them of course) I would be grateful to receive some information.

    Thanks in advance

    > I was wondering what are the temperature ranges at low, medium or high performance for the motherboard and CPU.

    It is not easy to say dude. The temperature can be always different and always depends on the use of the laptop.
    On the Intel page, you will find details about your CPU and you can find the temperature for the CPU limit. It s mainly around 100 C.

    However, if the temperature is too high, then the laptop would shut down automatically to prevent the equipment from damage. If the laptop is secure with such protection.

    By the way; the temperature can occur at a higher value if cooling modules and grids are obstructed by dust. So it s advisable to clean the grilles and fans of compressed air for usinf time spraying time.

  • Best practices: room temperature?

    We are negotiating with our neighborhood on what is ideal and preferred room temperature for our mac Labs.  I found a thread on the hour but it is specific to the valleys and I was wondering what was the ideal room temperature for keeping our laboratories.  Is there an official Apple SOP on that?

    "temperature is between 20 ° C / 68 ° F and 26 ° C / 79 ° F, with an average at about 23 ° C / 73 ° F.". Whatever it is above 27 ° C/80 ° F is potentially harmful to your computer. »

  • Recommendations for the power supply of the inverter of supply for an iMac 27 "SSD (1 TB) 2015?

    I heard that SSDS are vulnerable to data loss / corruption in irregular situation (surges, outages, etc.) and that a UPS is strongly recommended. No one knows what might work best for an iMac 27 "2015 (late) with 1 TB SSD? Amazon best sellers are quite disparate. No. 1 is perhaps not strong enough. N ° 4 seems not to have the OS X compatible software. Being new to this kind of material I don't know what to look for and what would be better for my machine.  It seems consume 240 W max.

    In this regard: I read that store a SSD in hot weather can ruin the drive (or some dr. I considered turning off my computer when I'm away for the summer (in a non air-conditioned office which heat sometimes). I better let him run (sleeping)?

    Thanks in advance.

    A UPS is recommended as soon as you have an irregular situation. It does not matter if you have a hard drive, SSD, or something else.

    240W is the max for the whole iMac.

    Not sure where you hear your horror stories about SSD.

    I have just bought a new iMac and want to give my iMac 2011 to a friend. I would give it as if it had been purchased in an Apple store - El Capitan as the operating system with the apps that come with the purchase. The older iMac runs Yosemite.

    I did this before time, three years ago, but the manual missing on El Capitan suggests that a clean install is much more difficult.

So I started searching Amazon, etc. I looked for that model # and a lot of sources that seem to match the specification EXCEPT that they were all the 240 pins. I can't find a 204 pins.

    Pure how to install OSX on a Fusion drive and keep the recovery disc function

    These instructions assume that your iMAC partitions or file systems has been damaged and you want to restore to the way most efficiency with fusion drive and the recovery partition, similar to what was built in the factory.

    These instructions work for the iMAC, retina 5K end 2014 version comes with OSX Yosemite. The scores of major drive of the 128 G SSD and 3 TB of HARD drive has been configured as a logical drive (merger by car).

    WARNING: These instructions here are shared for interest only. Readers to take their own risk by following these instructions. The author is not responsible for any damage caused by following these instructions.

    This is the target disk partitions, and the configuration that we want to achieve.

    Disk0 is the 128 GB SSD - solid state drive and holds the start of the partition (disk0s3)

    Disk1 is the 3.0 to HDD - mechanical transmission and holds the Recovery HD partition.

    There are two EFI partitions to partition table GUID on both hard drives (disk0s1, disk1s1).

    Disk space remaining (partition disk0s2 and disk1s2) are used to create the disc of Fusion 3.1 to named "Macintosh HD".

    Fusion unencrypted drive

    Here's how we do it.

    • A. clean reinstallation of Mac OS x.
    • 1. make sure that you back up all your data on the hard drive using Time Machine or other means. The following procedure will delete all data.
    • 2. create the OSX install USB, insert it to the MAC workstation.
    • 3. given that us will be operated on the internal trunk of the reader of the Mac, it must start on OSX install USB (see Y.).
    • 4. in the menu at the top of the screen, select disk utilities.
    • 5. turn highlighted the volume of disk Fusion called "Macintosh HD." Click clear to clean.
    • 6. If his success, then go ahead to install OSX new to that partition, as usual.
    • 7. otherwise, if it does not, that means fusion drive has been damaged.
    • 8 follow the instructions below to fix it.
    • . B. Split disc Fusion in the physical hard disks
    • 1. Since us will be operated on the internal drive of the Mac trunk, assumes that we already have boot up OSX install USB drive (see Y.).
    • 2. in the menu at the top of the screen, select utilities and Terminal.
    • 3. on the screen of the terminal type:
    • Cs diskutil list.
    • You will see something similar to the screen below.
    • 4 copy the long string after Logical Volume and replace the UUID with it in the following command to delete the logical volume of the disc fusion (aka coreStorage of logical volume):
    • diskutil deletevolume cs UUID
    • For example:
    • diskutil deletevolume E59B5A99-F8C1-461A-AE54-6EC11B095161 cs
    • 5 copy the long string after the logical volume group and replace the UUID with it in the following command to remove the drive (aka coreStorage) fusion:
    • diskutil cs remove UUID
    • p. ex. diskutil cs remove E03B3F30-6A1B-4DCD-9E14-5E927BC3F5DC
    • 6. at this stage, the fusion drive has been deleted, and hardsisk SSD and mechanical hard drive will be reappear in diskutil or separate records.
    • 7. If step 5 or 6 takes more than 30 minutes to complete, this means that the fusion drive has been corrupted. You can follow the commands below to clear the table to partition the hard way. First command clears the SSD drive, second command erases the HARD drive.
    • The command does not return a response, after 1 minute, press Ctrl + Z to complete orders. 1 minute is enough data to code and erase the partition table on the disk.
    • cat/etc/random >/dev/disk0
    • cat/etc/random >/dev/disk1
    • . C install a new copy of Mac OS x for the hard drive HDD and tested this disk partition hard recovery work.
    • 1. go on diskutil to create a partition called Macintosh HD HDD hard drive using all the space there.
    • 2 do the same with the mechanical hard drive.
    • 3. follow the usual procedure to boot from the installation of OSX USB and install a new copy of Mac OS x hard disk SSD.
    • 4. This will create the correct priming of the partitions, recovery hard drive partitions and PSX partitions hard disk HDD.
    • 5. once the installation is complete, test if OSX may start successfully, but no need to go through the initial MAC OS x didn't put in place that we're going to waste this and do the installation again later.
    • 6. we must now test if the recovery hard drive partition works.
    • 7. reboot for hard drive recovery (see X - by pressing command and R at the same time during boot right after that you hear sound start and release only a few seconds after you see the apple logo and the progress bar for loading...)
    • 8. it is important to test and make sure that the partition of hard drive recovery.
    • D. recreate the fusion drive
    • 1 since us will be operated on the internal trunk of the reader of the Mac, it must start on OSX install USB (see Y.).
    • 2. in the menu at the top of the screen, select utilities and Terminal.
    • 3
    . on the screen of the terminal type:
  • diskutil list.
  • You should find that we have a list of disk group hard physical volume only, no logic here still.
  • 4. you will see something similar to the screen below.
  • 5. search for the largest partition on the SSD hard drive, which should be close to the maximum size of HDD to the SSD (121 G, for example) and mark the name of the device, this will usually be something like/dev/disk0s2
  • 6. search the largest disk partition mechanical forming fusion with the SSD hard drive. This should be close to the maximum size of the mechanical hard drive (for example 3 TB) hard disk and mark the name of the device, this will usually be something like/dev/disk1s2
  • 7
  • . Now let's create the merger in car (group alias logical volume) in the Terminal, type: diskutil cs create nom_lecteur driveIDs
  • The number of the driveIDs is unlimited, it may be a number of discs, or a number of disk partitions. Always put the faster discs first, for example for our SSD disk0s2
  • For example:
  • diskutil cs create fusiondrive disk0s2 disk1s2
  • diskutil - the version of disk utility command line.
    cs - This calls for Core Storage, which is necessary for the merger.
    create - creates a basic storage group.
    nom_lecteur - is the name of the drive and how you want that he
  • appear in the disk utility (not the Finder - that comes later). You can call it what you like; in our example, we named our Fusion table "Fusion".

  • driveIDs - Here is the Player IDs of the readers you want as part of your Fusion table, separated by a space. In our example, they are 'disk0' and 'disk1', but it may be different in your configuration.
  • It is important that the faster hard drive appears first in the command, which in our case the disk0s2 (a partition in the SSD). In this way, drive fusion will use this disk as primary and the cache. The second disc in the command, in this case disk1s2 (a partition on the HARD disk). The secondary disk (HARD drive) is used to store less frequently used files.  Otherwise, the fusion drive performance will be worse that it is designed for.
  • 8. you will see something like below appear on the screen:
  • Creation Volume logical storage of kernel
  • Move isk0s2 storage of carrots
  • Disk1s2 of switching for the storage of carrots
  • Waiting for logical volume group appear
  • Discovered the new group of logical volumes 'DBFEB690-107B-4EA6-905B-2971D10F5B53 '.
  • Store LVG UUID: DBFEB690-107B-4EA6-905B-2971D10F5B53
  • Finished CoreStorage operation
  • 9 copy to the bottom of the string after "Discovering new Volume Logic Group" using the command + C
  • 10. next, create the partition of the merger (alias logical volume) drive named "Macintosh HD".
  • In the Terminal, type: diskutil createVolume groupString jhfs cs + size volumeName
  • For example:
  • Diskutil createVolume DBFEB690-107B-4EA6-905B-2971D10F5B53 jhfs cs + 'Macintosh HD' 100%
  • diskutil - once again, this is the version of disk utility command line.
  • cs - called the basic storage functions, which are necessary for this arrangement.
  • createVolume - this is the command to create the storage area real for the reader who is represented by an icon on your desktop.
  • groupstring - this is the long alphanumeric string you copied in the previous step. It identifies the table you created such as getting a volume placed on it.
  • jhfs + -the format of the disc. It is Apple (journaled) extended Format, which is recommended for drives with an operating system installed on it.
  • VolumeName - the actual name of the volume, how it should appear under the icon. If there is a space in the name, you must put the full name in quotes ("name") or put a slash before the (name Drive\) space. In our example, we made these, naming our volume "Macintosh HD".
  • size : this is the size of the volume. In our example, we had a 1.1 TB drive. We used '1100g' to describe what 1100 GB (1.1 TB to base 10). Otherwise, we could have also used 1.1 T or even 100% as a size.
  • 11. go to diskutil to verify that you can see this new partition on the list.
  • 12. test by erasing all the data from it.
  • 13. then you can go ahead to start on the USB drive to install OSX and install a new copy of Mac OS x on it.

  • 27-inch Imac (2011) will play is more DVD

    It wasn't a problem, before I've upgraded to El Capitan. But having received only a few new commercial DVDs I tried to run and each time they were ejected after 30 seconds without explanation. I know that the DVD themselves are ok because work on an ancient mac laptop. When I tried a job formerly DVD, it worked but when I tried to eject it, the app froze and I had to use force them to leave. DVD player smoking but the DVD would not eject. I tried various tricks to eject it but ultimately had to do a restart. After the reboot, this old DVD has been treated as the nine. My machine does not recognize. Later, I opened the drive DVD of Launchpad, inserted the new DVD and recalled in the file menu "Open DVD Media". If it showed two folders "Audio_TS" and "Video_TS" all the files in the folder have been listed, but is not accessible. Clicking play gave me the message "the disc supported is not available" (although at this time, he showed as an icon on the desktop. Then I got the beachball dead and when I opened it the player after the force quit I was still this beachball and no further response. When I did drag the icon of the DVD disc in the trash, Finder became unresponsive and I had to restart, the DVD disc has disappeared from the top of the desk, wrapped around but does not eject. Finally I ejected it with the keyboard button. When I restarted DVD player without the drive it seemed to work, IE no beachball, so I re inserted the annoying disc and this time, it worked.

    Why am I having to go through all this palaver?

    But hang in there! as soon as I tried to play it it told me he was unaware of the damaged areas, (this plays on my laptop, however) and after a few minutes we were at the beachball. Error 69902 then reported as a DVD Player system error. Then it crashed. Not one of the 6 new DVDs that is given to me for Christmas would load or play. Now we're back to not even have an icon on the desktop and the discs eject automatically after a minute

    The issue has nothing to do with El Capitan, I got El Capitan installed on my iMac 2011 for months and have never had any problems with DVD playback. Your problem may be a dirty or faulty drive or the computer may need a simple reset. First make a few resets base as a SCM and reset the PRAM, the indications are in iMac SMC and reset the PRAM. If the reset does not work, go to your local office supply store and get a CD/DVD cleaning kit, follow the directions and clean the lenses. There are lasers for CD and DVD in the SuperDrive, one of you maybe just dirty or it may have failed. IF the cleaning kit does not resolve your problem, you will need to replace the drive. You can either get another drive SuperDrive (not recommended because of the expenditure) or you can get an external drive. If you decide to take an external hard drive I recommend contacting OWC (www.macsales.com) and they can help you to choose the one that fits your needs.

    For w10pro c: / recommend reinstall to ssd or migrate ssd or even is...?

    SSDS all have sons the same size and holes threaded on the bottom and sides.  They all use the same fine metric threads live short (short, so they don't lower).  These screws must come with the adapter, and I live in general using the lateral holes.  Parts of the adapter have threaded, 3 holes and you will use the back ahead and away from those for channels of the drive Bay.  If you look at each side of a standard 3.5 "HDD, you will see the same same spacing holes.

    Some jobs need the SSD to shift to the left so the orientation of the SSD SATA power and data ports match exactly where they would be if the current drive was a 3.5 "HARD drive clutter.  An example is the drive in a Z620 of drawers which accept 3.5 form factor devices "and slides of drawers in the deep part of the case and automatically mesh with ports of power/data SATA back inside.

    Jobs that fuel just a loose cable and the data cable for the SSD is really doesn't matter much if the SSD is an adapter which keeps it more centered or offset to the left.  I've seen cases where a disk HARD 3.5 "given in the lower Bay and a centered SSD is in the upper drive Bay and there was nearly not enough cable length to reach easily shifted left for drives staggered in the Center.  You can see in the photo below that the Garland of feeding on the HARD drive has two unused SATA power below connectors, and there is not a lot of room between them.

    The card you chose seems good... solid metal.  For the HP 8200 Elite CMT I have access to screws 4 total special 6-32 UNC silver HP threaded screw threaded back ahead and away from the screw holes on both sides of the adapter, and then you use the extraordinary end threads metric short screws mentioned above to fix the SSD to the adapter, as shown in the pictures of Amazon.  These HP silver screw 6-32 no metric I'm talking using Torx or flat screwdriver and their leaders are trained to slip into the channels of the drive Bay.

    There are also other designs which are designed specifically for some HP workstations that include mounts insulation rubber with the sliding mechanism.  I don't think you have that... Here is a picture of eBay one of the 8200 Desktop Elite CMT demonstrating the existence of space on the left for 8 of these silver screw to store, which 4 are missing and used on 3.5 "single drive, you see there.  Don't throw those... they are not something, you can go to Ace hardware and buy.

    Your Mac does not 'clean up' and you must avoid software who claim that like the plague. Much of this software does more harm than good, and some of them are aggressive in pushing the upgrades and difficult to remove. Your Mac is quite able to keep clean, and if you have too many movies, audio files or photos you can remove them yourself.
