mY IMAC GETS VERY, VERY, VERY HOT! IS IT  THE CLIMATE IM IN OR MORE THAN THAT, I AM IN JAMAICA, USING IT IN A RECORDING STUDIO WITH A AC UNIT, PLEASE CAN SOME HELP.

If your Mac is running that hot, the inside and/or vents and ports maybe plugged up with dust, lint and dirt.
Are your Mac's fans always running and running fast?
To attempt to clean out some of the dust and dirt, use a vacuum cleaner with a hose and crevice tool attachment to suck, instead of blowing, the dirt out of your Mac. Power down your iMac, disconnect the power and all your connected peripheral devices, lay your iMac screen down on a soft cloth of heavy toweling and using the vacuum's crevice tool(avoid using the vacuum's brush attachments as this may cause a stic discharge issue) and lightly (to avoid scratching your iMac's finish) vacuum out the vents underneath the display. Also, unscrew the RAM compartment cover and vacuum the dust out of the RAM area. Vacuum the long upper vent the is across the back of your iMac. Vacuum out the CD/DVD slot and SD slot. Vacuum out all of the various connection ports on the of your Mac including the vent hole and grille that is visible through the iMac's support stand. Once done, re-setup and reconnect everything and power up your iMac and see if the temps go down.
If not, If you have Apple Store or other authorised Apple service or repair center, have them diagnose and, generally, check out the health of your Mac and have them clean out all of the dust, dirt and lint that maybe deep inside your Mac.
Once this issues has been corrected, to keep your Mac's heat issues down, run a small, high speed fan blowing on your Mac's back panel to attempt to keep your Mac even cooler..
Good Luck!
