    iMac Pro iMac Pro Normal Temperatures?

    I recently had my iMac Pro's memory professionally upgraded from 32GB to 128GB. For those of you who own iMac Pros, what is the normal temperature of your computer chips? Specifically, the CPU and memory banks 1-4? For me, it seems like memory banks 3-4, which I'm assuming are the topmost chips...

    Help: iMac Pro 2017 won't boot

    UPD: I managed to solve the problem by creating a new volume (partition) on my internal drive where I installed the new macOS via recovery mode and was able to get into the system. Then moved all data/files to the new volume and deleted the old one. Everything is working now. Looks like the...

    iMac Pro Screen downgrade + TB3 PCI-E/SATA All In One Enclosure + Reliability?

    Hello, I am wondering about the following. 1. Is it possible to "downgrade" the screen on the iMac Pro? I have one with a cracked bezel, but the screen itself is fine. I wouldn't mind downgrading the panel to a lower resolution, if possible. Should this be feasible? 2. Is there any...

    Install 13900K in iMac Pro?

    The iMac Pro has a TDP of 140 W. The i9-13900K has a TDP of 125 W (although it goes higher on turbo boost). Could I upgrade the iMac Pro to have the 13900k? Is the TDP the only factor that matters when upgrading CPUs?

    iMac Pro Ventura 13.5.2 kills Intel iMac Pro

    My 2017 iMac Pro was happily running 13.5.1 until I tried updating to 13.5.2. The machine is now dead. NVRAM, PRAM & SMC resets are ineffective.

    I have posted about this in another section, but I thought of a second approach. Here is the other thread. Internet Recovery Loop From Hell. I am stuck with what seems like no recovery partition, no options, no way to get any boot drive choice. Is there a way to use a second iMac to force an...
