They made it a point that the heat dissipation capacity is sufficient, 80% more than the non-pro iMac.

Fried GPUs in the Macbook Pro line is a running gag at this point. Many iMac models have shown overheating issues as well. And I'm sure they were all supposed to have "sufficient" heat dissipation :)

I'd give Apple the benefit of the doubt here, but not with my own money, and with an AppleCare.

iMac overheating? idk, when I had a 2013 27" I was able to overclock the GPU a lot and had no heat issues whatsoever

I have used both a thick iMac and a thin one. I had to run the thick iMac's fans at full speed all the time or else my CPU would bottleneck.

The thin iMac had underpowered fans and constantly throttled.
