SMC reset

Has the SMC reset changed or is it the same?

I have now an iMac 20,1 (27in 2020) refurbished, and TG Pro is reporting the fan is in trouble.

iMac 27″, macOS 11.4

Reset smc I have a 2019 MacBook Pro 13 inch with lowest specs and I’m going to uninstall a fan controller app i was using as I needed to set up faster fan ramp up times. When I uninstall it I want to reset the smc to ensure the fan will run properly in the future and I would like to know what the correct key bind combination is for my model to reset smc as I have hear some people have had serious problems such as their computer not charging as a result. Can someone please confirm the correct key combination for the smc reset for my model, much appreciated, thank you.

SMC reset didn't work- fan constantly running My Macbook Air has a fan that will not stop running- from power on, the fan is running LOUD and constant no matter what level of use. I tried the SMC reset and it did not work. The nearest apple store to me is hours away and was wondering if there was anything else to try and fix it? I use this for school and can't send it away until the semester is over.
