    OWC's in-line solution is the only hardware digital thermal sensor on the market allowing a third-party SATA drive to be installed in your iMac. A convenient, plug-and-play cable, the In-line Digital Thermal Sensor eliminates fan noise and maintains proper system fan control through the iMac's System Management Controller. This innovative device is designed specifically for the iMac, requires no software hacks and ensures compatibility with Apple's built-in diagnostic processes. 

    Using an OWC Internal HDD DIY Kit (sold separately), replace your iMac's original hard drive with up to an 8.0TB hard drive or a lighting fast SSD with a NewerTech Adaptadrive, for dramatic upgrades in storage capacity or data speed while maintaining the original system's fan and diagnostic performance.

      OWC HD upgrade set with tools & Digital Thermal sensor

      Posted by UN on 18th Feb 2021

      It was quite easy to purchase the items online direct from Flexxmemory.co.uk. The parcel arrived on the scheduled date. One of the suction holders was faulty, but the company quickly replaced it as soon as I informed them. So overall happy with purchase. Replacement of the HD with SSD was straightforward and I am happy with the outcome. I would be happy to recommend this seller because of their service and product quality.

      OWC COMPLETE HARD DRIVE UPGRADE KIT

      Posted by Pete on 5th Jan 2021

      The suction pads were the best part. the iMac screen removal was simple using them. They are REALLY sticky. I used the screwdrivers, but the handles are a bit thin to get a good grip. It worked fine, but if you already have a set of Torx screwdriver attachments, you could use them instead. I didn't seem to need the extractor tool. I used the cloth to dust off the screen before reassembly.

      OWC Digital Thermal Sensor

      Posted by Nikolay Naydenov on 22nd Nov 2020

      My old iMac 2011 was extremely noisy, I believe due to the fans control. Since I installed the OWC digital thermal sensor, the computer became super quiet. I wasn't sure this would work but it has done a miracle! It is a bit pricy but is worth every penny, I highly recommend it!
