Ok i have a very strange problem, i have a iMac 27" i7 and my fans are running up and rising more and more when i don't touch the mouse or do anything. It doesnt go idle but as soon as i touch anything then the fans are directly going down. This happen's even in the apple installation (recovery) mode so it's not any app or something that is doing this.
Got a tip for us?

Double check in Activity Monitor to make sure that it really isn't an app or process running wild.
If it's definitely not a process using the CPU heavily, then reset the SMC.

If the problem persists after resetting the SMC and it's definitely not app/process related, then you will need to take in it to Apple.
