Is Mac Mini 70-80° CPU Proximity temperature is high?
I bought a second-hand Mac Mini (5,2) for Plex. CPU Proximity temperature often raises above 70°-80° (when copying files). Should I be worried / consider returning the Mac Mini? Or is it in the normal threshold (meaning I can probably use it for a couple of years to come).- borbas.geri

MP 1,1-5,1 Mac Pro 1 1 cpu fan running full speed
The system boots fine but right when it starts up the cpu fans rev up all the way to full. When I check fan control it shows that cpu b heatsink is running extremely hot. Also, the top ram riser isn't recognized for some reason. Could this be a logic board issue? -

Alarmingly High CPU Temperature on 2020 27" iMac
Ran Cinebench and Fanny is reporting 127º C on the CPU die (i5-10500), which is insane. Oddly enough, Intel Power Gadget shows temperatures immediately increasing to 100.0º C and then just capping off there, which is almost suspicious. Any thoughts on what's with the 127º C? -

Can't remove CPU on 2007 iMac
I'm trying to replace the CPU on my iMac, but it's stuck! Is it possibly soldered on? If that's the case, I'm pretty much out of options aren't I? I was told to try using a hair dryer to remove it. I don't have a hair dryer, but I do have a heat gun. Is a heat gun too hot to use? Thanks. -
