Whats the normal temperature a stock 27" mid2010 iMac should have when running idle? I sincerely hope there is someone still working with those macs! :-)
MacBook Pro 16″
What third-party utility are you using to check the 2010 iMac's temperature?
There a around 20 temperature sensor in a 2010 iMac and three fans.
Which temperature sensor is giving you 70° C - 80° C?
Are all three fans running?

The information in the screenshot from Macs Fan Control looks good although the "Platform Controller Hub Die" appears it may be a bit high compared to all the other values, but it has been years since I worked on a 2010 model. Most Macs have most of the temps close in value (for those that get extremely hot under load).
I noticed the Platform Controller temp as well, but suspect that it's residual heat left over from the previous run and restart.
Okay you are right and im sorry for not mentioning the absecence of the HDD thermal temp sensor, but i don't get why the HDD fan keeps on reving more and more? Shouldn't it just rev at some specific point and stay there?

Warped as in distorted or bent from overheating.
Sure, my M3 iMac.
I know it's not a 2010 iMac but perhaps for reference my 2017 27" shows...
FWIW, the normal temp for most Macs is about 100° F on average at idle.
What is "tubing" and "warped" ?
Does anyone have a working iMac to tell me it’s temperature?
I’m sorry but, as written in the 1st post, my need is regarding a 27" 2010 iMac.
