Using OCPL (and Dortania ) since 2016, using older Intel macbook pro when I was in the Maldives. Now using Imac Intel from 2009 in a daily basis for light work online, Zoom (with a green screen) and external hard drive, since last year I had more and more problem with heat disipation, do today I went for the hard choices. Upgrade to NVME hard drive and Cooling solution....by drilling Hiles for the fan and extra Holes near the copper on the back of the DVD drive. Here the Temp where around the 70C to high 90C, but, now 40 TO 60C MOST OF THE TIME WITHOUT AC IN THE ROOM. I LIVE IN JAPAN NOW, SMALL 1LDK AND AC IS EXPENSIVE. Thanks to all of you for helping people like me on a tight budget!!!
Thank You
