My iMac fans get loud when using flash?

I have an aluminum iMac from 2008. It's not the white iMac it's the aluminum iMac with an intel processor. Whenever I watch a YouTube video the fans kick in really loud. It started happening about a month ago. Here are the specs: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 3 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

How do I fix this problem?

5	You can't really. Flash sucks. Go to http://www.youtube.com/html5, and join the beta, your fans should stop making loud noises while watching YouTube videos. answered Jul 11 '10 at 19:34 AppleHack23 (suspended) edited Jul 11 '10 at 19:34

0	It has something to do with flash not working all that good on Mac Os X. When I watch a Youtube movie, it's like my MacBook Pro takes off. answered Jul 11 '10 at 19:31 Hanhart 6.5k●29●55●126

Well most of the videos I watch have advertisements and YouTube HTML5 beta doesn't support videos with ads.

I always thought it didn't support HD videos...good assumption. Or maybe it's because only ad videos are in HD...
