I recently changed my iMac slot loading cd Drive, and when I use the CD and eject them out, it really gets hot.
Any idea? -CD drive problem?

Is the ventilation around the CD drive blocked in any way? That would be one possible cause. Some slot drives are shipped with a protective cover, was this removed prior to installation?

Nothing to worry about. Slot loading iMacs do not have fans for ventilation purposes. Apple purposely made it in such a way to keep the system noise down as much as possible.

If the CD is spinning real fast, then the generated heat is even hotter.
