Q: iMac 15,1 5k fan speed.
Last august I bought a 27" 5k iMac, i7 4Ghz, 16Gb RAM, AMD Radeon R9 M295X, running 10.11.6.
Until the last few weeks, everything was completely fine, spectacular piece of engineering.
Then, the cooling fan went bananas, running always at top speed (~2850rpm) even if no major hardware use is involved (no renderings, no audio/video editing, ...) like now: just browsing the web, fan at 2285rpm.
Is it normal?
P.s. I was blaming the hot climate (north of Italy) with temperatures above 95 °F, but now we're around 70 °F, and still bananas.
iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014), OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)
