What are some good cooling fans I can use to cool down my imac? I have no heating issue at the moment but I want to buy one to use it when I play overwatch.
I personally wouldn't bother with external solutions. You can use software to artificially increase the built in fan. But even then I wouldn't personally worry about it, let it cool itself.
Thanks for the input everyone. I used to play overwatch on my 2013 13" Macbook pro and it was heating like crazy so I had to use a cooling fan for that one. That's why I'm not too sure if I need one for my imac as well when I play overwatch. It's the 2015 fully maxed out 27" imac - any opinions?
Have you tried it out since you posted this identical question a month ago?
You could give it a try, and see what your iMac really does when you test it with overwatch?
You may find out that you don't need to do anything special, as the cooling system should do a pretty good job of cooling without attention from you.
Or, you CAN run an app that allows you to control the fan, such as SMCFanControl.
Just curious - does "fully maxed out iMac" include 64GB of RAM? Nice machine, eh?
I worry about long term health with it running so hot. Ramping the fans speed up earlier makes huge difference in temps, as the good tools can show you all the sensor readings, and you can decide for yourself.
I'm planning on running Overwatch on my 27" fully maxed out imac. However, I'm afraid that the heat might damage this expensive machine so I am looking to find a product that'll help keep my imac cool. Does anyone recommend any cooling product?
Or you might end up wearing out the fan bearings earlier. Who knows? But it's a possibility.
