iMac 2013 27" temperature/possible underclock?

MSI Afterburner works fine here (same driver version with 680MX in Windows 7). My iMac is not available to me right now, so I can't be more specific. I would recommend reading a pdf manual for Afterburner, maybe you haven't enabled some setting or something..

Somehow mine don't, but this could be only cuz of "newer" 775M. I've found setting in Nvidia Inspector, but no clue which are good to be edited <_<

Also thinking about giving it to some service so they can apply better thermal compound.

Lol, you're perfectly fine with temperatures regularly near 100 C in an expensive closed, compact system, where all the various components are crammed together - but yes turning up the fan speed is bad. Ok...

I'm fine with my computer running the way it's been designed to run. As I've said before, I've had, and been around, Macs for years, and high temperatures have never yet fried anything, but mechanical systems inside those machines (fans, hard drives, CD drives, etc) HAVE died, repeatedly. Experience has given me a healthy respect for the systems that are more likely to fail, and therefore need the most care and attention. I used to worry about 95C too, until I realised that the processor didn't care.
