This site will help collect and show the temperatures of Apple Macintosh computers using the new processors by Intel. All new computers that haven't faced the trail of time
will have problems and issues that can make users mad and furious. As with the new MacBook Pro machines where were, and still are, problems with heat dissipation. After scouting
forums and help sites for information about what temperatures I can expect on a new MacBook, but that turned out to be harder and more scattered than I first imagined. That's the main
motive behind this site and it didn't take too long to setup as I had the base code handy from another site.

your temps are running uncomfortably close to their maximum. i would recommend getting smcFanControl 2.1
it is a program where you can increase your fan speeds to keep your mac cooler. it is safe and a must if you want to prolong the life of your mac.

| use the free fan control program to boost your fan rpm's and cool that imac down. I'm using smcfancontrol and my temps have gone down 30 degrees celsius. |
