Yeah I found one for $12 on a website so I may try that. I will try that and get back to you with results. Once again thanks for all your help so far. Also do you know if holding a fan's rpm at a constant value will cause the northbridge chip and almost everything to increase in temperature? If you ...

The only left that I can think of is that sensor is bad? I swapped one out for a 2007 imac but it either didn't recognize it or confirmed that it isn't the problem. Does anyone know if these things are interchangeable? Mine calls for part 593-0866 and I used a 593-0493 to test it. Both are 2 pin con...
