[QUOTE="bigdrum, post: 815820, member: 90825"] I had the same issue. I ran a temp app on my imac g5 and it was running at 85 degrees plus. I reset the pram - nothing. Reset the firmware - nothing. Then I read about the air vents getting blocked and problem solved. The temp is down to 61 degrees. So thanks to whoever posted about clearing the airvents!! You're a life saver!! My problem was the small circular airvent was blocked. You'd never know it was there unless you were looking!!:D [/QUOTE]
