Fan is continuesly working/keeps noise.

Hello,


I have a iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2019), that everytime I turn the CPU on the fan starts also, even the CPU is "cold". I think the fan is at it´s max? 3000 something rpm... Is there a way to get the problem solved? the previus Mac I had did not have this problem, nor does it have it now.

iMac 27″, macOS 11.2

Please reset the SMC 3-4 times with all wired peripherals (printers, scanners, cameras etc.....) disconnected. SMC Reset
