i bought an imac G5 for college in july and lately ive been reading that the cpu tends to overheat and cause nearby capacitors to bulge. apple supposedly fixed this problem in the rev B imacs. i installed temp monitoring software on my computer and have found that it regularly gets up to 170 degrees when im playing halo, watching hd movies, etc. i havnt had failures of any sort yet so im probably worrying for nothing. on the other hand, when you spend this kind of money on a computer youd expect it to work under all conditions, and i dont like how apple seems to have designed this computer more for design than function. anybody else here having problems with there imac overheating?
