So, I decided to give my Mac Pro an early Xmas present! I got two WD 1TB Caviar GP Internal HDD's. When I got my Mac Pro, I got with the standard 250GB HDD - I then cannibalized my PC for all the HDD's (a combo of 200 and 250GBs) - I installed & formatted them - no problems at all - I ran super-quiet I could hear the HDD spinning!
I took the old HDD's out and installed one new 1TB HDD - I cloned my OS from the old HDD to the new 1TB HDD - during the process I noticed that the fans were running way fast! I thought I might have been the process. Ever since the fans are running constantly at a very high rate - I downloaded the "fans" widget and ir indicates that I have one fan running at 2,900RPM, another running at close to 1000RPM and the others at 500RPMs (normal I guess!)
I've combed the Net looking for solutions - I've tried unplugging everything waiting 10 minutes; I've tried resetting the PRAM; I've tried resetting the SMC; I even swapped the original HDD's back - all to no avail! I really miss the quiet system I had before! - out of desperation I called Apple tech support! (I'll be getting a call tomorrow - hopefully!)
Does anyone know of ANY solution at all that I could try? PLEASE HELP
