[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1522107, member: 56379"] Probably not. But you won't know until you open things up. If the fan(s) are currently working & not making a lot of noise...then they're probably fine. FYI...replacing parts like fans is not a simple matter with Apple computers. In the sense that these are not "off the shelf" parts. If these parts need to be replaced...you need to plan wayyyy ahead of time...and start looking for them. But like I said...if the fans are currently working & not noisy (by noisy I mean loud mechanical noises...bad bearings...not loud noise from the fans running at high rpm). It's also possible that your iMac us very very dirty inside...and needs to be cleaned. Blocked fans = less cooling air = hot iMac. HTH, - Nick [/QUOTE]
