IMac running too hot

imactemperature

I noticed my mid-2011 Core i5 iMac felt a bit too hot on the back. So i checked my iStat dashboard widget, Here are the temperatures:

  • HD: 52 degrees celsius
  • CPU: 49
  • Ambient: 35
  • GPU Diode: 55
  • GPU Heatsink: 56
  • Mem Controller: 55
  • Optical Drive: 48
  • Power supply 2: 66

Are these temperatures normal or should i be worried? I used to have a non-unibody MacBook Pro which also used to run hot(much hotter then this) which eventually had a logic board failure when it was just about a year and half old. Same thing happened to my brother's six months old unibody white MacBook.

These temperatures are completely normal.
