[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1916826, member: 56379"] I believe you have a 2020 model iMac...thus the high temps are not due to having an older computer...and asking it to do too much. 3D rendering is one of the most resource intensive things you can ask a computer to do. Generally the rendering will take advantage of all CPU resources available to it. Apple computers are designed to shut down if they get too hot. Is it possible the room the computer is in is on the hotter side (no air conditioning)? Ambient room temps will definitely increase computer temps. I'm guessing during the cooler months (Winter)...your iMac doing the same rendering would run cooler. - Nick [/QUOTE]
