[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1020772, member: 110816"] All electronic components generate heat..the more the load on the component, the more the heat.. However, Windows itself isn't going to make components generate more heat than OS X or Linux.. As a manufacturer of computers, Apple is keenly aware of the need for proper heat dissipation on all of their products. Excessive heat can damage the system. I also have the the 27" iMac and you'll notice that the bottom of the screen is nice and cool while the top is warm..the iMac is designed to suck air from the bottom where cooler air is and send it over the components and the warmed air from the top.. So as long as you aren't putting the iMac in such a confined space that there is no air flow at all, just let it be and enjoy.. Regards [/QUOTE]
