    2017 iMac 27" NVMe swap: slow OS, kernal-task taking CPU, temp sensor?

    hi, I recently swapped out my (2TB) dual fusion drive setup on my 2017 iMac 27", to a singular 2TB Samsung 970 Evo Plus NVMe with the Sintech adapter. Alongside the SSD swap, I also installed 32GB of Crucial memory, coming from the stock 8GB apple memory. Before I sealed the screen back up, I...

    Running Windows 11 on the Intel iMac?

    Hi Apple and MacRumors friends. Has anyone successfully run Windows 11 via Boot Camp, on an Intel iMac, specifically the Late 2015 iMac? If yes, did enabling the Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 have any effect on macOS? I use Windows, usually for gaming after a hard week's work (on a sunday) and macOS...

    M1X Mini vs M1X iMac

    The machine has been a beast, and performed well despite a few upgraded internal components (fried power supply, fusion drive recall, two failed hard drives, SSD EOL so I'm running from an external SSD as my boot drive) and it's still plugging along. But it's time to switch to Apple Silicon...

    Help with domain-connected Mac

    Can anyone help with Macs in a classroom connected to network/server/domain? They have built up a lot of system storage and slow, likely due to lots of user profiles being stored over years. Can I delete older user profiles in Directory Utility?

    List of Apple Arcade games which work on non-metal Macs

    I decided to test out and try to document which Apple Arcade games work on early Intel, non-Metal Macs running Catalina unofficially. For some reason, not all games are made for the Metal API, which means that some work surprisingly well. Some also used to work, but no longer do (Crossy Road...

    M1 Mac network speed.

    I have just replaced a 2008 iMac for an M1 Mac Mini. Wireless speed is painfully slow at times where it takes an age to connect to, or screen share the M1 from my main iMac, late 2015. Using the exact same network, with settings that ape the ones on my main iMac, I am getting about 70Mbps. My...
