    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?

    2015 27" iMac spontaneously reboots w/kernel panic

    My 3.3GHz i5 2015 27" iMac has the nasty habit of spontaneously rebooting itself periodically. Looking in Termina at the termination code, it reports "-64" which is "unknown." I have eliminated the possibility of a bad memory module by removing 1 of the 4 modules in turn to see if the kernel...
