[X4U] Noisy iMac fan

[Spoolman Nancy]

There is  much discussion on this and we've had several of these  
issues in our school district. We have the extra warranty and after  
redoing the entire computer OS, etc. (which we HAVE to do first!) we  
inevitably send it in and they replace the logic board. Or, we do it  
since we are apple certified and maintain our own. It seems to be heat  
sync control. I'm sure it varies, but yours sounds like logic board.

trouble as a normal detail of human life and resolve to capitalize on  
it when it comes along.
