iMac 27' Late 2012 680MX at 92C

with furmark, bunch of 2014 games, is this considered normal?

would this kind of heat damage hardware in the long run?

92°C in Furmark seems fine to me.
Furmark is designed to stress the GPU as much as possible and given that, 92°C doesn't sound too bad actually.

You can use Macs Fan Control (software), and set a higher static fan speed (like 2300-2350rpm). That way the temperature will stay more stable.

my retina iMac's GPU has been at 105 degrees consistently while playing games.
don't worry about it

Better get Applecare

Those temps will cause short life. Desktop cards run much cooler and GPU is soldered to logic board on imac, so if it goes....

Corrected your sentence.
