I loaded Steam and CSS last night and gave it a quick go for about 3 mins. I noticed the cooling fans running louder than usual. Ill run some tests over the next couple of days and see whats going on. My iMac is maxed out
Is it a demanding game?
What GPU did you get
I have no problem with Skyrim on ultra ( 680mx)
This iMac stays much more cool than the previous generations

Yes. Computers tend to warm up, but i wouldn't expect an old school game (more or less), like CS:S warm up to this degree. It's not demanding at all to the computer. I have it maxed out with the 680MX. My computer doesn't even warm up rendering and exporting 4K Red footage...
Yep
You're right about that.
Isn't CS:S a port? Could be it just wasn't built with Mac OS in mind.
I tend not to worry about heat unless if gets HOT, but being a little paranoid certainly isn't a bad thing.

Haha, thanks for the suggestion. Yeah, my computer was running ice cold when I was rendering and exporting footage earlier. I'll keep a closer watch.
