    Why on earth did you remove the screen with the iMac standing up? It's just an unnecessary risk for no reason of the display slipping and dropping or ripping the display cable. Please anyone doing this lay it flat or put a wedge in between the stand to keep it facing upward!

      I did indeed make the LinusTechTips error when doing this, I think a wedge would be the best option as laying it on its back would likely have a similar issue as having it standing up. Unless something was propping it up so its level. :)

    I have an iMac 27" late 2015 and I'm thinking of upgrading it just wondering what's the best CPU and NVME SSD for it. CPU: i7 6700k? & NVME: Samsung 990 Pro?

    I already have the 4 GHz i7 on mine, but I wish there was a way to use this old thing as a monitor for a modern Mac Mini.

    Hi 😊 ! I just found a 27inch 2015 5k imac on fb marketplace for 150$ (cnd $) just a small crack on screen. But is that a good deal ? And is that model very good ? I mean should i go for 2017 imac instead ? I love upgrading imac so im not sure which models doesnt allow you to upgrade 😢
    * what i wanna do with the imac is simple photoshop, excel, microsoft word, streaming content like netflix/disney+/prime video/paramount, browsing the internet…

      probably because the hard drive on these models causes the fan to run at full speed without a special adapter
