Before you start taking your iMac apart, be sure to vacuum out all
external air-circulation vents, particularly the circular inlet on
the rear under the support arm.
How happy i would be if that turned out to be the problem! It
occurred to me that before i grab the ShopVac i should ask is that
literally what you mean? Or are you thinking of one of those tiny
vacuums just for computers?
Thank you!

(I don't know why your April 5 response appeared in my In box only
today, but that seems to be what happened.)
For cleaning the dirt from my iMac, I used our home's canister-style
vacuum, with its brush attachment at the end of the long hose. I
think most upright vacuum cleaners also have attachments for a vacuum
hose. A shop vac would also do the job if that's what you have in
your house.
I have a USB-powered vacuum, but the airstream is so weak that it
never occurred to me to use it for this purpose.
I don't think you should worry about your vacuum cleaner being too
powerful. Everything inside your iMac ought to be screwed down,
soldered in place, and any connectors ought to be firmly in their
sockets. I can't imagine that there's anything loose inside there
that would be sucked out of its proper place.
