iMac Retina Heat management

Although I use Safari exclusively Chrome is a more power browser (MSE & WebM VP9 and WebM VP8 support) I'd expect it to be more a resource hog.



I would delete it completely if I could get Safari to AirPlay Netflix HTML5. My options are using Safari with Adobe Flash, or Chrome with HTML5. Pick your poison, Adobe Flash or Google Chrome.



Here is an example. Safari is more efficient doing the same task as Chrome but only slightly because its utilizing Flash.

Have you tried ClickToPlugin?

Can we all do this:

1. download iStat from here

2. watch this video here in 4k, full-screen mode on your 5k imac twice in a row

3. post back with a screenshot of iStats, here is mine, my GPU got up to 89C, I have the 4GB version.

Ran it 4 times in a row and iStats said GPU Proximity 42 Deg C and GPU Die 62 Deg C.

Machine in sig.

I take this back. It looks like Netflix got rid of silverlight completely? Now you have to use Chrome (or any browser other then Safari) to AirPlay Netflix...?
