Does the i7 model have tendency to overheat, as in some older iMacs?

I've got the 3.4 GHz i7 version and use the iStat Menus 3 to keep an eye on its vital statistics. Normal CPU operating temp is in the 40-45 degree C range, occasionally getting up to 55 degrees under high load. That's pretty cool, as far as I'm concerned. The top of the iMac, while warm, isn't uncomfortably so. All in all, it seems to be a pretty cool-running machine.

Not yet, I installed one at a client this weekend. We ran it for about 6 hours while moving and setting it up. No fan and no serious heat.

No that I have noticed so far. I have only had the machine for less than a week now and I have not noticed any heat issues. If any thing it seems to be running cooler than my last iMac, at least to the touch of the top of the machine.

Pretty quiet even on hot summer days where I choose to open the windows and not use A/C.

I've got the 3.4GHz i7 model and the top definitely does get "uncomfortably" hot, not untouchably so but I wouldn't want to leave my hand sitting around the top-back vent.
