Hi,
not sure if this issue has been covered before or not.
but any help, advice or thoughts would be appreciated.
my imac is pretty much 2 years old. its a 2,66GHz Intel core 2 due with 2Gb ram.
for the first year. it ran perfect. as expected. was almost silent. when the screen turned off. you couldnt tell it was on unless you got up real close to it.
but for a while now, although running great still. there seems to be a bit of a issue with the cpu+the fans. i have no idea as im no expert.
but anything that uses the CPU more than 40%, be it youtube, or anything else flash. imovie.... or whatever. it causes the cpu to get really hot and the fans to go really loud. so loud i cant hear my music over it on normal volume.
here is a picture i attached of iStat pro. interesting too that the only fan not speeding up is the cpu one.
what do you guys think is causing this? just dust in it ?
because if it's anything other than dust and software, my extended warranty covers it.
Thanks
