    Replace GPU after reballing

    Hello everyone, I have an iMac classified as obsolete/vintage by Apple and so I had to fix it by myself. The problem was a frozen screen on the startup (grey window with the apple, vertical stripes and weird colours) that has been partially solved with a reballing on the graphic card (AMD Radeon...

    Hey there 👋 I'm having some trouble lately with my wife's iMac 4k '17 with AMD Radeon Pro 555 GPU. It's panicking whenever it's set to sleep for more than a few minutes, and I know the kernel panics are caused by the GPU.

    MP 7,1 GPUs in both slots 1 AND 2?

    I couldn't find the answer on google, so I'll ask here. I get a PCIe device error on startup when I put the RP580X MPX in slot 1 and a RTX 3090 in slot 2. Setting aside the folly of putting a 3090 into a 8x slot for the moment, why would this cause an error? Anyone else experience this? Does...
