    View all i9 8 core temps.

    Hi All, I have recently upgraded my iMac from i5 to an i9. I haven't found an app that will display all core 8 temps. TG Pro and Macs Fan Control only list 4 cores. Is there a way or an app for Mac that will show all 8 core temps? TIA. Cheers

    Hello, I am looking to get the top end I7 Mac Mini from 2018. I was just wondering if you guys think it would be worth buying now or holding out and seeing if they do update it in Oct/November. They did take a very long time to update the last model, but it feels to me that this will be a...

    Ditch iMac Pro for iMac 2019 i9? Noise?

    I have an iMac Pro with 64 RAM and it is still in the return window. I'm wondering if I should consider ditching it for a i9 8 core 2019 iMac with similar specs and save about $1400 (by adding my own RAM from OWC). I have not seen any conclusive breakdowns saying if the new iMac i9 is having any...

    iMac 2019 runs occasionally at 100°C? [Merged]

    With my former iMac I never bothered looking at things like temperatures and fan speeds. They said it just works, and it always did. But now in 2019 with all the stories about thermal throttling I wanted to see for myself if my new i9 iMac runs as smoothly as everyone says. I installed TG Pro...

    MBP i9 running hot?

    Hi all, I purchased a MBP i9 back in November. I've noticed that doing basic tasks, such as browsing the web, the notebook gets quite warm. If i start watching a youtube video, the fans kick at full blast. I've got an i7 provided by work and i'm sure it never gets as hot as the i9. I've seen...

    MacBook Pro 2018 Failed Fans (High spec i9)

    Bought a new 2018 MBP in Aug, already got issues with the fans failing not able to run at high RPMs. They constantly click every 20 seconds. This is the most highly spec'd MBP you can purchase and it's a truckload of S**T. What were they thinking of sticking an i9 in such a slimline body? The...
