As 0 degrees Centigrade is freezing point - what exactly is smcFanControl measuring here? Is HD drive temp measured by an external probe or is it an onboard function - I use iStat menus, and hard drive temp measurement seems to be a function of SMART monitoring, but in my G4 iMac it just shows one measurement of 41 deg C, which I presume is CPU temp. Is an NVRAM reset perhaps the solution here? Just a thought - but I'm waiting for Bruce or Dan, who usually seem to have the answer on this sort of problem. Dan (the other one!)
