[QUOTE="baggss, post: 1307866, member: 6762"] My 21.5 inch iMac gets hot when I run CPU intensive Apps like Handbrake. I downloaded and installed SMC fan control and I generally jack the fans up to Medium when needed. Without it the machine will peek at about 175F depending on conditions in the room/outside. With SMC I can keep it at about 130(ish)F when running HB. I actually get faster conversion speeds with the cooler temps as well. [/QUOTE]
