Optical Controller

is my imac getting too hot?

i want to know the average temperature my 21.5" imac should be. here all all the temps for just regular everyday use (according to iStat Pro)

HD: Macintosh: 43 celsius
CPU: 40 "
Ambient: 25 "
GPU Diode: 51 "
GPU Heatsink 52 "
Mem Controller 46 "
Optical Drive: 35 "
Power Supply 2: 43 "

i also have smcFanControl and i keep the minimum fan speed at:

ODD: 1000 RPM
HDD: 1458 "
CPU: 1506 "

im new to this computer so i dont know what speed to keep the fans and what my temps should be around. it gets kinda hot sometimes. and what is the ambient, GPU diode (all the above)?
Thanks

1. Disable that fan control whatever, your iMac can regulate its own temperature.

2. Get use to how the iMac is designed to operate before you start reprogramming stuff that wasn't meant to be reprogrammed.

3. Messing with stuff your unfamiliar with is going to blow out your iMac (and void your warranty) long before it automatically melts down.

4. Mac's tend to run hotter than PC's with similar configurations.
