Hello guys, i bought an old used iMac Late 2013 base model.
I decided to install a 512gb ssd nvme crucial + mac adapter and leave the stock 1Tb hdd as it is.

Everythings work well, i installed Catalina but i noticed that the main (and only) fan always spin at 1200rpm. In this imac the minimum is 1200rpm and the maximum is 2600 rpm.

I ran Cinebench - R20, the cpu temperature rise up to 91°C but the fan spin at 1200 rpm.

For a standard pc this is insane, but this is my first iMac and i don't know if that is normal or not.

Can you give me some advice?

Thank you

If you don't like the default fan control settings you can set custom ones using e.g. MacsFanControl
