However, the many system modifications you have could also be tripping up the heat regulation system. Were I to hazard a wild guess, I'd say MS OneDrive and/or Google Backup and Sync. Then some process keeps the temps up, again triggering the fan again.Дў) more likely, some 'phone home' app is periodically doing its thing and that is increasing the fan speed for short period.s during the day. The intermittent nature of the fan cycling could be two two things:ДЎ) the detected internal temps are right at the point that turns on the fans the fans come on a short time to drop the temps below the trigger point.

See:ДЄctivity Monitor User Guide for Mac - Apple Support You can use Activity Monitor (in Applications > Utilities) to see if the md tasks have settled down. Under normal conditions, even following the updating of big packages like MS Office, that should be more than enough time to complete the indexing tasks. If you run another EtreCheck test after a restart, do it after the computer has been idle for 20-30 minutes. They are very active immediately after a restart. 'md' processes are part of Spotlight, usually driving its indexing function.

I've attached a screen shot from iStat Menus showing what this looks like in a graph.

The problem began while I was on macOS 11.4, and upgrading to 11.5 did not fix it. I have a HooToo hub and Seagate SSD attached to it, but they've been there for months (the hub since I got the iMac) and have not caused issues. This is a stock iMac, 16 GB of RAM, 1 TB SSD, 3.3 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i5. He went off to talk to colleagues several times, and came away stumped. The tech I talked to had me go into safe boot to see if that would clear it up, but of course at the time I was talking to him it wasn't doing this. If the fans are revving when I make the switch, they roar for a while and then calm down soon after the switch. I have another user profile on this computer, and when I switch to that, it doesn't happen at least, not for the brief time I'm in it. I have closed all apps, and closed all Menu Bar and background apps - still happens. Killing all apps doesn't necessarily stop the fans. I have standard productivity apps running. This doesn't just happen at startup it can occur in the middle of the day. I can put the iMac to sleep, and occasionally while it's asleep the fans kick off. going from the 600s to 2600 rpm for a while before finally calming down. Often the fans roar to life when I start up, and stay there for 10-30 minutes, then they slow down but pulse. (Under normal circumstances, the fans are around 1200 rpm, according to iStat Menus.) I'm using iStats Menus, and can see the temps and CPU loads in real time, while watching the fan rev up, often past 3600 rpm. It's been just fine until a few days ago when the fans started firing up intermittently, when the system wasn't under load. and even the Apple tech I talked with on the phone agreed.
