Hot-Mac

Hello Guys, I know my english is very bad but I hope it enough to understand me.


Now we come to my problem.

When I do thinks at my Mac, like playing LoL or Cs:Go my Mac would be pretty hot at the height from the Apple-Logo. Is that normal?

I hope you can answer me. Thx 🙂

iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2013), My Mac is older than 1year

If you are pushing the CPU and/or the disk drive, it will draw more power, and that always results in more heat.


The fans should run faster (and louder) when this happens to get rid of the heat. If the fans are not running faster, that could be a problem.


Also if your Mac is old, it is possible there is dust buildup inside the case that can reduce heat transfer from the inside to the outside.
