- 3.4 GHz i5, GTX 775M
Recently purchased a 2014 iMac with the intel i5 3.4 GHz processor and the Nividia GeForce GTX 775M graphics card. I know that the iMac is known for running hot but I am curious as to what would be considered a safe range for the internal components to be within. I monitor the temperatures frequently using a temp gauge app and have only been concerned with the temperatures during gaming. The GPU is a beast and I was astonished at how good Skyrim looked on it and how high of frame rates I was able to obtain. However, when i minimized the game after roughly 40 minutes to check my temperatures I found that the CPU was right around 80 celsius and the GPU 0 diode at roughly 82 celsius. Are these temperatures to be concerned with? And if not, what temperatures should I be concerned with ever seeing?
Side note: I am using this computer in a room at roughly 70 fahrenheit and it is not in a tight space that would restrict air flow.
