Disable Hard drive sensor (iMac) after HD swap. (Some other people posted it too)One question though: I've read that the late 2012 iMac (the 21.5" one) uses a custom firmware inside the HD, which is then read via the SATA cable instead. Just used Alexandre's solution in that iMac and took a look at the LCD thermal sensor, which is hidden behind some foam on the back of the lcd.Hi my friend! I have yet to do anything but software work on the late 2012. 06/14/2015 by kaellis. Tnx!Model A1311 / Mid 2010 / 3.06 & 3.2 GHz Core i3 or 3.6 GHz Core i5 ProcessorJump the connectors means this:And how does that work with the motherboard/EFI? That does have a different connector. A convenient, plug-and-play cable, the In-line Digital Thermal Sensor eliminates fan noise and maintains proper system fan control through the iMac's System Management Controller. The temp senders Apple uses are surprisingly standardized. . Worked perfectly with no need for additional software.I know this is an older thread, but here's something I've found. Then i attach the sensor with double-sided tape (same stuff we use to adhere glass on iPads and unibody MacBooks).tiger, check the date on the OWC report.I performed the HDD replacement yesterday.

Works perfect.
This innovative device is designed specifically for the iMac, requires no software hacks and ensures compatibility with Apple's built-in diagnostic processes.Your question may be answered by sellers, manufacturers, or customers who purchased this item, who are all part of the Amazon community. (And the gray wire to the transistor's emitter) Should I then tape the transistor to the hard drive so it will act as a thermal sensor, or just let it hang in the open air?However if I have an issue in the future I will certainly use one of those cables.Hi! I damaged the LVDS cable so I am done trying to install anything myself again.It works but I afraid the Hard Drive will overheat when I use for a long time.Alexandre solution worked perfectly for me! .
I haven't tried it myself, but I've always had good experiences with everything I purchase from them. I have a mid-2010 iMac 21.5" that originally shipped with a Seagate drive.
This innovative device is designed specifically for the iMac, requires no software hacks and ensures compatibility with Apple's built-in diagnostic processes. Sorry. I used an eBay sourced optical drive sensor (transistor type) from a different iMac and taped it to my new hard disk. In either case the cost of repair was higher than fixing the system correctly the first time.BTW I'm a beta tester for a major hard drive manufacturer and their replacement 2.5" 'Fusion' drive is in beta right now and is performing about midway between spinning HDD and SSD in terms of read/write tests. .
