iMacs Running To Hot?


It looks like Apple may be having more problems with their new line of iMac. Recently the new aluminum iMacs were running into freezing issues that Apple finally acknowledged. But the people at Appleinsider is wondering if the problem is hardware related more than software, caused by overheating.

Users are reporting graphical glitches right before the freezing, which is symptomatic to an overclocked graphics card that is overheating. Installing Leopard to the mix only adds to the problem, since it takes advantage of video chipset processing during normal OS functions.

I know we have some iMac users in our mists, are any of you having this problem?
