Operating Temps after SSD drive install

[danmc00]

I installed a new SSD drive last night in my 27" iMac. Are these operating temps normal?

CPU 36 /97
Ambient 20 /72
GPU Diode 43 /110
GPU Heatsink 43 /108
Mem Controller 48 /117
Northbridge 59 /142
Optical Drive 39 /104
Power Supply 2 53 /126


What is the Northbridge?

For your SATA and video buss controller.

So which one is the hard drive?

None of them. What are you using to measure the temps?

I am using IStat Pro Widget

I am using IStat Pro Widget

And is there an option for showing HDD temps in the preferences or settings? I use iStatMenu's. Everything has it's own category. It is clearly labeled as Hard Drive Temperatures.

Related perhaps? Thermal sensor for the HDD could be tied to what this article is talking about, and replacing the drive could cause the HDD thermal sensor to no longer be seen.
