If you own a 24" iMac, can you please post what version your SMC controler is, and whether or not you have updated to 10.4.8?

This will be a great help in trying to troubleshoot a fan problem I am having. Thanks in advance for the help 😎
 
DARN IT! I was hoping this would help cure my odd fan behaviour. If it doesn't install an upgrade to the SMC, that would appear unlikely. Of course, I most notice this issue when waking from sleep, so....I guess I will upgrade and hope for the best................................
 
Where are you two located with the 1.10f3 SMS versions? And have you tried to install XP using bootcamp?
I'm in the Netherlands.

Yes, I tried installing XP using bootcamp, no problem at all. I'm using a retail Windows XP Professional SP2 CD. Please note that my new iMac 24" also has a different model Superdrive than earlier versions (PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-K06)
 
I upgraded my firmware this morning, but the SMC is still 1.10f2...is the SMC 1.0f3 a part of the OS 10.4.8 upgrade?

Haven't had a chance to check out the fan noise yet....

Good luck with that .... very impressed with the low noise levels of this machine.

Referring to the earlier post - I also have this Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-K06 model of superdrive.
