I didn't clean my iMac in five years and didn't have any heating issues with it.

He he, not sandstorms, but it seems some duststorms ^^
With the main PC running for around 12h per day and also doing overnight renderings and sometimes for days to get some animations done, you end up with quite some "air-traffic"
My System is also overclocked and needs some little more fresh air...

Well I had an iMac too, had no issues too, but during rendering the CPU reached 92° -.-'

How do you know what temperature CPU and GPU reaches ? And how to know the maximum they can reach ?

There are monitor tools to help here, like GPU-Z and CPU-Z or MSI afterburner...
The maximum temperature is depending on your hardware. Usually you reached it if the system crashes

At least macs have an overload protection which shuts the computer down when it gets too hot.

Yes PC does have a shot down too when it becomes to hot, its was said in my first message of this post
