Now before I start, i know Macs are not for gaming.
I recently received my brand new iMac 5k with specs of
I7 quad-core turbo boost up to 4.4 Ghz
16 GB RAM
1TB Fusion Drive
AMD Radeon R9 m295x 4GB
Now its least to say that the total for this computer is 3,200$. Ok, So I've been using the iMac recently to play a game called Total War: Napoleon and when I start up the game everything is really fast although I'm still in the main menus when my iMac starts showing these very high temperatures! Now I am no tech expert but running the GPU at 105 celsius which is equivalent to 221 degrees Fahrenheit is NOT normal! funny thing is I'm running on MEDIUM settings at 1080p!!! (Temperature Pic Below) Even when idle and doing absolutely NOTHING my GPU temperature sits at 45 celsius - 75 celsius. I am starting to get EXTREMELY worried and I have half a mind on getting a refund since I'm still in my 14 day period. Of course the temperatures drop as soon as I exit the game but still! it remains in the 60 Celsius mark! I LOVE Apple but this for me is a huge let down, 3,200$ and I'm not sure if it'll even last me too long. I know many have also reported this but
