[QUOTE="BenGlasgow, post: 1113875, member: 169466"] I had a similar problem with a new i7 iMac although in my case the noise changed from quiet to the fan being on all the time. Apple arranged a straight swap after the hard start ups etc failed to switch the fan off-it was under its 14 days warranty. However what I did find awaiting the replacement completely unplugging the iMac and putting it elsewhere in the house saw it restart with the fan off and it stayed off. Neither iMac ever gave the problem again. If you don't want to return it -it may be worthwhile switching it off for an hour or so and start it again or trying moving it. You may find as I did the fan didn't come back on again-that is of course if it is the same problem and I appreciate you may be describing something different. [/QUOTE]
