What's normal range temperature and fan speed for a 27" iMac?

I have a new iMac (27-inch, Late 2013), 3.4 GHz Intel Core i5, 8GBs ram, and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M 2048 MB.


Smc fan control reads up to about 131°F and around 1200rpm fan. Is this within normal range? At what point should I be worried?


Thanks

iMac (27-inch, Late 2013), OS X Yosemite (10.10.2), 3.4 GHz i5; 8 GB Ram

1200 rpm is the minimum fan speed according to iStat Menus and other sources. If your fans are at the minimum that means your system is not concerned about the temperature. On my system currently the fans are at minimum (1199rpm) and the temperature is 104°F. The room ambient temperature is 74°F. Your system looks normal to me. By the way, my system is also a 27-inch late 2013 iMac with the 3.5ghz I7 CPU. The Haswell CPUs are very efficient and low power.
