[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1543879, member: 46727"] An iMac is normally very quiet although it has three fans going all the time. I run some fairly graphic intensive apps and have never experienced a situation where the top vents became so hot that I couldn't touch them. If your top vents are that hot, I would have the machine looked at. It could be that one or more of your three fans are clogged with dirt and not providing proper cooling. The air flow upward is by convection but keep in mind that you need those three fans to provide proper internal cooling. [/QUOTE]
