Please help me resurrect a salvage late 2013 27" iMac
Late 2013 iMac missing HDD, display and RAM. I have a display panel, spare HDDs and compatible RAM in my parts bins. I can't seem to find a straight answer about whether a temperature sensor is needed or not. From what I have read there are possibly two temperature sensors that people talk about, an LCD skin temperature sensor and the HDD temperature sensor. Can anybody shed some light on these two components? Part numbers? Where are they located? Where are they connected?
If I use an Apple PCI-e SSD and third party HDD to set up a fusion drive what parts do I need to keep the fans from spinning like crazy? Which 27" iMacs need a HDD temperature sensor and which ones do not?
I know that OWC sells an HDD adapter that includes a temp sensor but I can't tell if I need it or not.
Ist dies eine gute Frage?

I am wrapping this up and just wanted to add a few things to the discussion in case anyone else needs the info in the future.
# Without the display panel attached but using an external monitor the iMac would power up as normal and was usable but within a few minutes but the fan would be running at full speed and sounded like a vacuum cleaner.
# I used a WD Green HDD and the Apple PCIe SSD to create a 2.1 TB Fusion drive.
# With the replacement panel attached and an LCD skin temp sensor plugged in but WITHOUT a HDD temp sensor on the WD HDD the fan runs as normal. Usually quiet unless under load and then it speeds up as needed.
# Do the WD HDDs support whatever internal temp data OSX is looking for?
