I am helping a friend with a Mac Pro1,1 upgraded to 2,2
Firmware and SMC were upgraded, he change the CPU from two 2 cores to two 4 cores.
Now fan run at max. I installed Mac Fan Control and all temperature reported by the app seems ok.
I did reset the SMC by unplugging power 15 seconds, then replug and wait 10 seconds.
No luck
Reset PRAM even if I dont did that would help. (Waited 3 restart )
Any help would be greatly appreciated
some web searches suggest TC1C and TC3C are temp sensors for CPU Dies A and B.
If true, it sounds like you guys did not get the firmware updated properly. on the About this Mac page, what Mac does it say you have (don't post your serial number, please)

I have started the 10 minutes timer :-)

I might tried the same app on my MacPro3,1 to see if I get some waring

he has installed windows on two other drive.
I remove those two, restart and I got this
I started with ALT and select the only left drive with 10.7.5 I had a strange freeze than it booted normally
no change in fan speed :-(
the problem started before the SMC firmware update. He change the CPU first then we did the firmware upgrade from 1,1 to 2,1 and then the SMC update.
now it show
and before the SMC update it was
before the firmware update it was.a 1.1
Hi Franco,
Normally don't recommend this, but if you custom set those 2 high fans to say 2000 RPM, do the Temps go up?
I guess I'd try this...
1..Shut the machine down.
2.. UNPLUG the power lead to the computer and any peripheral devices.
3.. leave it for 10 minutes.
4.. Hold power Button in for 10 seconds
5..Connect back up and reboot.
Another thought, perhaps it's a Timing issue, does a Restart correct the situation instead of a cold startup?
I reset the pram and it is ok now. It boot directly into Mac OS and this strange window does not come up anymore (the black one with the underscore)
Good work, great to hear! :)
He just found out that he forgot to reconnect them properly.
No more problem with the fan.
Now he just has the boot problem. :-)
It's been a while and readers tend to read a dozen different problems every day.
Can you summarize "the boot problem" to remind us exactly what this is?
Mac Pro with fan at full speed with normal temperature
