Hi Folks,
I purchased my Imac about 18 months ago.
27-inch: 3.2GHz
3.2GHz quad-core Intel Core i5
Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz
8GB (two 4GB) memory
1TB hard drive1
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675MX with 1GB
It's set up in my office with many other electrical items and I guess that at any one time there are two or three items running off different plugs, today I smelt a burning smell not like a fire more like electrical, I checked all the plugs one of which was running warm.
I then put my hand onto the back of my Mac and on the top, the top was quite hot, I have never done this before so I don't know how hot it should be running, I guess it should be quite warm, it is however, running fine, I've kept it running to see if the heat fluctuates but it doesn't seem to be, the smell didn't last long "I guess about 30 seconds" I unplugged the plug that was warm, "nothing to do with the Mac, what so ever".
All I want to know is, does the Mac usually run quite hot, It probably sounds like a strange thing to ask after 18 months of constant use but I honestly have never noticed how hot it is running.
Any advice would be gratefully received.
Cheers.
Kev.
