[QUOTE="jman995x, post: 1860150, member: 58170"] Hello, I have an iMac that is relatively new. I installed 64GB of RAM. A lot of time I'll have anywhere from 30GB - 50GB of "Available" RAM....yet my iMac's Fan is working almost non-stop. I can understand if I'm doing video editing, and have a whole bunch of RAM-intensive apps/processes running and thus have limited RAM, and really putting the computer through its paces...but with maybe 15-20 Chrome tabs open, and not much else...for the computer to be blowing more hot air than Congress makes no sense to me. Is it just a matter of Chrome being a resource hog? Thoughts? Things I can check when this happens? [/QUOTE]
