      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!
