Is it possible to externally liquid cool an iMac by taping a liquid cooling system on it's back ?

I just wanted to buy an external liquid cooling system and stick it to the back of my iMac using sticky tape and connect the cooling system to the wall outlet , I mean I wasn't going to open up my Mac ...

I understand wht you mean, and I wouldnt advise sticking anything to the back of your mac, and regarding any unauthorized modifications, we can't talk about those in this forum. Unless you can find one for a mac and not a pc I would advise against it. Are you experiencing abnormally high temps, or is this just as a precautionary measure?

Yes , I do experience very high temperatures . Although I have a quad-core 3.1 GHz CPU and 4GB of memory.

Have you runiStat Pro to see what the temperatures are ?

Can you post a screen shot of this ?

Sounds normal, the back is hot because it acts like a big heat sink.

What are the temperature readings of it's internal components?

Also note that there is a FanControl Utility that can be used to increase the internal fan speeds, but it should only be used under extreme conditions and with great care.

This may be a lie , because I read it on a liquid PC cooler manufacturer's website , but I still believe that liquid cooling is better , otherwise noone would use it.

Manufacturers have a habit of "embellishing" the truth. 😉

My CPU is 59 Celcius

Nothing to worry about there.

The CPU and CPU Heat sink can easily go upto 160 F (71 C) + if your running an intense program.

Don't do that.

doubt you will have much success by applying a cooler on the case

coolers works best when applied directly on the chip that gets hot

47 degrees is quite Normal.

Is mine at 59 Celcius normal ? 😕
