Unable to change temperature settings

Hi, I've used MFC fine for a couple of years on my 2012 imac 21.5s, but last week bought a s/h 27in late 2013 imac.

The temps setting window has the 'save' button greyed out, and will not allow me to set custom temps.

any suggestions greatly appreciated!

both HDD & CPU fans values (min/current/max) cannot be read. Do you actually hear those fans?

right now I can hear one fan at least. Is there a diagnostic?

Why is there a reading for ODD - surely there isn't one in this imac?

OK I'm making progress, MFC thinks this is a 12,1 imac, but it's actually a 14,1 imac. How can I change the config?

Please run this in Terminal

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

killall MacsFanControl
rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.crystalidea.macsfancontrol.plist
killall -u `id -u -n` cfprefsd
