I just ran mine up near the RAM and now my fan works correctly. Then you can plug the sensor back in to the appropriate socket on the main board and run the sensor to somewhere where it might get hot. Finally, reset the SMC > When you reset the SMC, fans will be resetted to factory settings, so it will undo changes you did with smcFanControl. Then, open Finder, select Applications in the sidebar and delete smcFanControl. All you need to do is pull the plastic "cover" off and then gently peel off the sensor from the hard drive. First, quit smcFanControl in the menu bar. ) you will see that the thermal sensor is just softly glued to the hard drive, probably because that's the thing that would tend to get the hottest when the system is working hard.

The safety mechanisms are pretty binary (CPU will suddenly throttle to 50), I'm not sure how variable the turbo boost clock speeds are but at the end of the day the fans will end up on full if needed, running them at a base of higher than 2000 will not be. They are there purely to stop the components overheating. If you have a look at step 21 of the Crucial SSD installation guide (. Running them faster when there is no need just wastes fan life and battery. And those wires don't actually go into the hard drive either.

Theres an app called SMCfancontrol that Ive been aware of. A cursory glance will make you think those wires are just part of the hard drive, some superfluous connector that it appears you don't need, since the SSD works fine with just the main connector attached. The temp still looks normal, but could not get it to stop spinning up even after doing an SMC reset. The wires for that thinner connector are stuck to the side of the hard drive with the plastic "cover".
SMCFANCONTROL COMPLETE RESET MAC
Notice the light on your mac charger change in colors. Hold down Shift + Control + Option and the Power button for 5 seconds. When you take the stock hard drive out you will see that there are two connectors - the main hard drive connector and another, thinner connector. It’s really here and I couldn’t have displayed it better than Save Apple Dollars YouTube video. It's one of the smaller cables you usually disconnect to take the LCD off.smcFanControl needs to be started to work - it does not run as some kernel extension or Launch Agent (last time I checked it, which wasn't too long ago).The "missing" componet is the thermal sensor, which is attached to the stock hard drive. You can try resetting the SMC on your Mac, as that is.
SMCFANCONTROL COMPLETE RESET INSTALL
If the CPU or optical drive fan is spinning up over 2.000 RPM then it's actually the LCD sensor that is not properly connected. Ive used SMCFanControl for years, but when I did a fresh install of Yosemite, it behaved really wonky. If the hard drive fan is spinning up to the max there is nothing you can do about it other than using smcFanControl to limit it's maximum RPM (within reason, 1.200 is a good value from my experience). Being open source, you could remove the minimum limits.
SMCFANCONTROL COMPLETE RESET UPDATE
Reconfigure your router and update your Wi-Fi. First off if you just quit SMCFanControl then your fan speeds will not return to normal and you will have to reopen the Utility and adjust them accordingly. The router’s default factory settings have been restored. SMCFanControl is a Utility that works differently than other Applications, so I can understand your confusion in properly controlling the fans with that Utility. Wait for the router to fully reset and power back on. With the router powered on, use the pointed end of a paperclip or similar object to press and hold the Reset button for 15 seconds. After rebooting, the minimum fan speed got reset (by the system supposedly) to the original 1200rpm. In order to not damage your machine, smcFanControl does not let you set a minimum speed to a value below Apple's defaults. Locate the Reset button on the back of your router. It allows you to increase your minimum fan speed to make your Intel Mac run cooler. Within OS X check the fan speeds within smcFanControl. I use smcFanControl to control the CPU fan speed, and now wish to reset it so that MacOS automatically adjust the fan speed. smcFanControl lets the user set a minimum speed for built-in fans. Now, perform an SMC reset: unplug the power cable, wait 15 seconds, plug it back in, wait another 5 seconds, turn it back on. Once that is done start the iMac back up and shut down again. Keep pressing Shift + Option + Control + Power for 10 seconds and indicator is still orange. Charging indicator is orange light when machine powered off. assume the late 2009 model already has the sensor that is connected directly to the hard drive? In that case the best way to go is to disconnect the cable entirely. Actually, as per my experience if you are going to do the SMC reset and your not fully charged battery Macintosh machine is charging, the charging indicator will be the reset indicator as below. smcFanControl is pretty much the go-to tool in such cases. If you drag the sliders in smcFanControl all the way to the left (minimum values) these are the defaults for the computer. Honestly, I haven't heard of either of these applications.
