Isnt a secret (try to googling for "smc fan bootcamp" and "overheat"...) the SMC control seems to have some "issues" using bootcamp and Windows partition, in fact the fans stay ever at the default speed, the result is something like 55° (131° farh) HD and 85° (185* farh) for the PSU
So: I STRONGLY suggest to use smcFanControl if you use the BootCamp partition for heavy work and gaming, this can save your hardware (at least.the iMac hardware)
some comparison playing with and without sfc here:

(temps are in celsius)
altough I have some minor issues (for example the "change desktop" feature with mouse on the screen sides isn't working well) it's superfaster on the new imac,
and it's free
the micro-update 1.21 adds some warning messages for these few users with the "open-and-suddenly-close" problem, hoping this can help me to do some debugging
also, on the iCursor(tm) Official(p) Page(r) (aka: www.giofx.net/osx/icursor.htm) I share the user's effects. If someone wants to contribute just send me the zip file of your customized fx
