[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1527130, member: 56379"] General answer yes. More specific answer...it depends on what you're doing. Since you haven't noticed this for 18 months...it's probably been like this all along (unless you started doing something more "intense" lately). You can install an application called "Temp Monitor" to get a better idea of temps: [url=http://www.bresink.com/osx/TemperatureMonitor.html]Temperature Monitor: Description[/url] Also (since this computer is 18 months old)...you never know...some dirt/fuzz may be building up a little on the inside...and it may need a little cleaning (although newer iMacs are getting harder & harder to open up & clean). Lastly...if the temp in the room that the iMac is in is warmer than usual...that can also increase the iMac's temp. - Nick [/QUOTE]
