YES its me again and i have a few more questions i could use help on



my imac starts up at 19 celsius usually, after about 10 minutes goes up to 25. Thankfully it stays around 32 for most of the use but by the time its been on for 8 hours or so its up at 46 celsius.



could this be normal or is this something i should have looked at?

BTW it is a 20'' core 2 duo imac ordered from california with two gigs ram and the 256 ATI card.

    46 C is pretty normal for most computers. I don't know the typical temp usage of the new C2D chips but would be willing to bet that 46 is in the typical operating range.

    Your iMac is not running hot at all. These C2D machines can handle 60+ Temps.

    My 1st gen iMac G5's CPU regularly reaches 70+ degrees celcius!! I don't think you should be worried at all!
