Ever since I got my iMac a few months ago, I have had no problems. But recently, I have been experiencing major heat problems in which the top of the iMac is too hot to touch. What i am worried about is that "Secondary Heatsink" (when using Temperature Monitor) is reported to be at 82%.

Is there something wrong? All the other temperatures seem abnormally high as well.

My mac is usually on all day, and only gets shut down during the night. (Approx 6-7 hours of off time).

I usually use programs that are CPU intensive (Eg Minecraft, other games etc.) Could this a factor to the heat?

What should I do?
