[QUOTE="Straitsfan, post: 1627898, member: 47577"] Okay; thanks, but what concerned me as well is that when I close everything the fans still run high; they may slow down a bit, but just this morning, for example, when I closed everything and let it sit there it was still running around 1500 rpm; it seems that I have to put it to sleep, and then wake it up to get things down again. But then again -- I woke it up from sleep, but changed the power setting so that it wouldn't and let it alone for about 45 min-1 hour, and the fans are at normal 'idle' speed. I suppose that it might take a bit of time to cool down. Just wondering. Is there any way for me to tell when something is going bad or needs to be replaced? Is there any kind of 'normal' temperature for the CPU, HD, GPU diode, power supply, etc, to run at so I could maybe see if something's about to go? I don't use my machine very heavily, usually only a couple of apps at the most at a time, so this is why I was concerned as well, especially since I've got a Processor that's more of the high end for the iMac. What I mean to say is that I'm familiar with the temps for various parts of the machine, and it just doesn't seem to be abnormal, which I thought might cause the fans to run as high as they do; especially since the CPU didn't seem to be taxed too much as far as the amount of it that was idle. Thanks for your response. [/QUOTE]
