Question about heat readings on iMac

Hello everyone!

Is these readings normal? These readings are under normal use (surfing and watching some YouTube)

I have noticed that LCD Proximity and Optical Drive Proximity get particularly hot. Why?

I Hope that someone can come up with a reason why, and answer if this is normal. 🙂

Thank you!

Watching YouTube videos is why they are so hot. However, the fans should be running faster to cool the machine, so I would take it in for service because something doesn't seem right. In the meantime try Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC).
