Hi

Well the summer is upon us here in Europe and my iMac is starting to run a tad hotter today, just reached 55C, feels like I could fry eggs on it.

Does anybody crank their fans up through the summer months, if so to what speeds ?

Using smcFanControl mine are set to.......

ODD 1500 Min
HDD 2500 Min
CPU 2000 Min

I just turn up my AC.
 
yeah noticed mine is a bit hotter just b/c the ambient air is hotter (even w/ the a/c on). i cranked by HDD fan speed up to keep it at or under 52 deg C.... it's probably at abotu 3000 rpm in smcfancontrol
