[QUOTE="harvey3178, post: 1189187, member: 174222"] I am so glad to see this!! bobtomay, cwa107, 100% agree with you both! i have been working on computers for over 15 years now. I remember those custom built frankenstein monsters over clocked to the max! lol. When you look at apple products inside and out you can tell a lot has went into the design engineering. Now guys what really scares me is if you jump over to a wee forum called Apple forum!! yes the official apple forum, you will get the opposite advice! ( Download and install smcFancontrol, download istats and watch your temp!!!) Complete and utter s**t!! Hmmm let me see, so the apple engineers couldn't get the fan speeds correct so lets just leave it up to the owners!! These people are complete idiots and normally have no technical knowledge whatsoever! Can i just please say this is not relating to the OP as he has done the right thing and followed advice! If you use istat you will never want to turn the machine on! there are loads to be taken into account and the most basic is room ambient temperature, what tasks your doing and so on. Now i am not saying these tools are not good! these can help keep an eye on a troubled machine, For example as the other guys say, if your machine is just shutting down then yes lets take a look at the temp! I think for the novice to start messing with these long spent engineered machines is crazy! Give apple a bit of credit, the hole design of the iMac is one big Heat sink! Sorry for the long post guys and to jump on the OP's post, just had to get this out! :-) [/QUOTE]
