Hello!
I know we've seen this question a bazillion times but I cannot seem to find a straight answer regarding my issue so I'm hoping someone guru here can answer it for me.
Recently, I've noticed a dramatic increase in my iMac 27" i5 temperatures.
While just posting this my temps are as follows:
CPU A Heatsink: 41c
CPU Cores: 43c
GPU Diode and Heatsink: 41c
Ambient: 20c
HD: 36c
While gaming (WoW specifically, SC2 as well) I get the following temps after just an hour, with my CPU fan cranked up to nearly max RPM
CPU A Heatsink: 62c (it peaked at 71c last night)
CPU Cores: 70-73c (ran a fractal program last night as these suckers hit 91!)
GPU Diode and Sink: 45c
HD: 36c
Ambient: 22c
Power Supply: 67c
This appears to be a relatively recent issue, unless my recollection of my usual temps is just way off.
Is this ok for my late 2009 iMac i5?
It is, of course, just out of warranty by a month and I was an idiot and didn't purchase AppleCare because I thought "Hey! What are the odds something will go wrong in 3 years?"
I've reset SMC twice and my PRAM 3 times and I'm still getting the above temps.
Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated before my iMac sets the house ablaze.
