I know the 3.4ghz i7 has a higher power rating so I'm assuming it produces more heat than the 2.7 i5 that i have (which I've never been able to get it hot enough to speed up the fans which annoys me frankly but anyway....)Well anyway, I saw on a youtube video where someone had a 3.4ghz iMac and just recording their screen with screen flow made the CPU temp go up to 52C. I have to work really hard to get it that high i mean 100% CPU usage for 20-30 min...idling at 28C right now...So those of you with 3.4ghz iMacs do you notice your fans speeding up? Also people with other iMacs if your fans speed up from working the CPU please post here too.
Thanks!

Edit: Nevermind i can't even get it to 52C I've been running FoldingAtHome for 25 min and I'm at 47C.....A/C is set on 20C or 68F by the way
