Okay, I used iStat Menus 2.0 which was still DonationWare, so it was basically free of charge unless you wanted to pay. There seems to be a bug there with the drive bay sensor or iStat Menus reading it because is constantly shows 1000°C. It basically operates at: CPU A: 51 to 63°C CPU A Amb: around 47 to 50°C CPU B: around 53°C CPU B Amb: around 45°C U3 Headsink: 57°C almost constantly CPU fans: at the beginning at 300rpm, after some time at around 300-1200rpm (CPU fans are: CPU A Intake, CPU A Exhaust, CPU B Intake, CPU B Exhaust) Slots always stays at 73rpm. When the rpm goes up and down again slowly, it went streigt from 300rpm to almost 3000rpm (which is load!). Later the rpm was at >300rpm, say around 600rpm, but also at 1200rpm for some time. Still, it started to slowly go to just before 3000rpm, then slowly go down to 1000 again. The CPU A temperature did go down, yes, but there is no pattern: it started at a CPU A temperature of 55°C as well as with 62°C. But why? This is some kind of odd behaviour to me. I have to check with 10.4 yet to see what goes on there. Any thoughts?
