[QUOTE="XJ-linux, post: 1807568, member: 33722"] I went with an 3.8Ghz i5 in my 2017 27" iMac because of more than a few complaints I had read about i7's really running hot and running fans constantly in the particular iMac form factor. I use Adobe Lightroom and play relatively low intensity games like BioShock and do get fans kicking on sometimes, but not nearly as much as I've hear others getting with i7's. The i5 delivers enough performance I have zero issues with either Lightroom or BioShock on "high" settings. I'm running 16GB of Apple OEM + 32GB of OWC sourced memory and the Raedon Pro 580 8GB video card [/QUOTE]
