[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1560168, member: 56379"] 106°F is not "burning to the touch". As I mentioned...106°F is only 8°F above human body temp (not hot at all). We have folks all the time reporting computer temps of 150, 160, 170, 180, and 190+°F (well above the temp of your iMac)...and these computers are fine. And FYI. When someone makes a cup of coffee or a cup of tea at home...many times they boil water first. The boiling point of water at sea level is 212°F. This is "BURNING HOT". I can almost guarantee you...that you wouldn't want to take a shower or a bath in 106°F water (too cool). So it's certainly not a temp. to be concerned about with your iMac.:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
