[QUOTE="ZachUSAman, post: 1114061, member: 173049"] yea, thats definitely something catching on the fan. Ive personally got 3 fans going on my computer, and 1 is at 2123 rpm, the other is at 765 rpm, and i can hardly hear them. Is your computer in a hot area? When I moved into my dorm (no ac here) and started gaming, my cpu fan used to jump up to 3500 rpm (very nice jet engine imitation). Computers run on fans for cooling, and when your fans push in hot air, its not helping. edit: the solution I found was to take one of the sides off my case and just put a box fan next to it, its louder but it works! your under warranty though, so I would take it into apple and have them deal with it, not sure if its a good idea to open up your imac (if even can). dust would be another issue, or cause, but since its new it wouldnt be it.
