[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1638829, member: 46727"] Those temps are not out of the ordinary for your iMac. The newer iMacs both retina and standard model use only one fan. You'll notice that cool air is drawn in from the bottom vent openings and warm air is expelled out of the back vent which sits above the monitor stand holder. When you use handbrake to convert video that taxes both the CPU and GPU which is why the additional heat is generated. When you were doing the conversion you should have heard your fan increasing in RPM. [/QUOTE]
