I've done some research and found out some people having some issues with their 27" iMacs overheating with their usage (not necessarily with Pro Tools or DAWs).

Has anyone here having any issues that may be inherent to Apple's aesthetic design?

Much Thanks in advance
I know you didn't ask and in the hopes you haven't purchased that iMac - make sure it doesn't have a Fusion drive for the system drive. Those historically are death to good working with PT.
