![]() My settings are all at High besides shadows, turned down to Medium because I don't notice them too much. ![]() Right now ESO runs mostly between 70 and 80 C (never above 85 but that's quite rare, only happens once or twice per session), and the fan speed goes between 15 RPM (still very silent!), up to 2300 very occasionally during some cyrodiil or boss fights. So I adjusted the fan to move faster and keep the GPU cooler. Others say that no matter what it's not good for any device to get past 80 - 90 Celsius for too long at the risk of reducing its lifespan. Some think that the computer is perfectly fine anywhere below 100 Celsius (when by standard the comp will slow itself down to prevent possible damage) because the iMac is built like a laptop - known to have less space for ventilation so the components are made to endure higher temperatures (the aluminium case also helps as a heat conductor). I haven't had the chance to ask an apple expert yet but on the internet opinions seem very mixed. But after downloading the Macs Fan Control app I realised that maybe it gets too hot (80-90 Celsius, 95-100 in big fights like Cyrodiil) for its long term safety. I never had checked this stuff at all because these computers are very silent & it's expected for them to get quite hot during heavy use like gaming. It also might help other mac owners who had no idea about this stuff like I didn't one year ago! My iMac 5k will turn one year old soon so I figured it's about time to start taking good care of it I create this thread because I'm interested in knowing other people's opinions on what is a reasonable GPU temperature (what I think it's the most heated component) & fan speed while playing this wonderful game. ![]() First of all please excuse my poor English, it's not my native language and it wasn't easy for me to explain (or rather try to) this kind of technical concepts on a forum post. Hello all! I've been doing a lot of research on this topic recently but it's hard to get a clear answer so hopefully we can shed some light on the matter here.
