Notice that after Sonoma 14.0 upgrade I hear the iMac's Vent operating and the iMac's back is hot.
Didn't change or add any now software ...
Only issue is wallpaper disappear after restart.
Any advice will be appreciated.
iMac 21.5″, macOS 14.0
Thanks.
PLEASE SEE REPORT WITH FULL ACCESS. My previous reply is before full access report.
Even with safe mode - In safe mode also getting HOT with Fans ON.
I have two external HD but only connected to the iMac with NO powered on.
AND Two Time Machine discs connected.
Attaching report.
No issues with Sonoma that would cause the computer to get hot. However, if you think it is first please re-start in Safe Mode and then restart normally and re-test.
If that does not work, then the condition may be cause by something installed on the computer. In order for us to get an idea of the cause we need to know what has been installed. Please do the following:

Glad to help. But I'm not the one who solve the issue.
I found that an Installer Progress is ON after each restart.
Asked here a question and the user " BDAqua " replied with this solution.
Now I'm ok but planing to add an external SSD Drive to use instead of the internal Fusion Drive.

Replace the HD, I'd use an external SSD which is a LOT easier and will speed up the computer.
Instead of using Migration Assistant to copy all my files to the new HD , Can I use the iCloud Drive to “Download “ these files instead? ( other Apps I can redownload )
It is possible your Fusion Drive HD may be failing. Please download the free version of DriveDX and please test the Fusion Drive. If ANY errors appear then that confirms my hunch that the HD is failing and must be replaced.
If the HD portion of the Fusion Drive appears with no errors then you are correct it is fine. What I saw from the DriveDX report was for the SSD portion of your Fusion Drive. It is critical that you test the HD portion of the Fusion Drive to verify the HD is operating okay.
After reinstalling macOS , It seems that it's ok now.
I think part of macOS installer was working in the background and couse extra unneeded resources .
The macOS unfinish upgrade was the reason in my opinion .
Anyway. Thanks ALL for your help !!!!
The download was not to a specific folder. This is the scan results.
I have the full report Elsewhere
.
Also .....
Thanks.
a basic question.
if the HD is fails.
My iMac is from 2019.
Replace the HD or to a new iMac ?
Thanks !
I understand that my present internal HD is OK
maybe an issue that’s not regard the HD ?
ps. Still hearing Fan operating from time to time.
