[@WyleCote]

Well done! It's so much more satisfying than buying a new computer!

[@SergeiJuganson]

[@きんたらに]

頑張ってください!!! Keep up the good work!!!

[@MygenteTV]

bron can you add the list of your items with amazon for us to buy? thanks

[@aripsp]

Nice! I’m about to do the exact same thing to a mid 27 inch mid 2015

[@Epicgamer_Mac]

Me too, even the same compiter

[@LOSSLESSOFFICIAL]

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!

[@aboutthismac9333]

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. :)

@@aboutthismac9333 i have a late 2015 iMac 27 inch do you think you I can do something similar

[@LovesM855A1]

@@NicVandEmZyou can and its so easy! Go get a ssd they are cheap and right now you can get 32 gigs of ram for it for 60 bucks or 20 per 8gig stick ….. you also p get a adhesive kit online for 10 dollars, its so easy

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?

[@atanasvelikov2227]

M.2 990 pro is not compatible , better use 970 pro or WD black 750

[@hardzero7181]

Ive broke the socket trying to install a new cpu 😢😢 dont kno what to do now😭

[@dhavaljdesai]

How about upgrading to MacOS Sonoma?

[@zemekiel]

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.

[@HaasGrotesk]

This old thing still works like a charm 9 years later. All thou it may sound like an aeroplane trying to take off at times :)

[@samsowden]

i thought there was, i'm sure i've heard of people doing it. maybe it's another model

[@demetriusstallings7831]

Hi I have a i7 7700K processor can I use that in my imac late 2015 27 inch 5k

[@DrFiero]

@@demetriusstallings7831 - no. That's an LGA1151 socket CPU. Mac has an LGA1150.

[@marchelh9820]

@@demetriusstallings7831 unfortunately no. intel motherboard has different socket for each generation

[@jjsworkshop1359]

So why didn't you replace the old hard drive with a SSD?

[@mrnobody9821]

HD runs the OS I think and he might have had no way to load the OS onto the SSD

[@star__sh]

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

[@ljpaewai3863]

probably because its a fusion drive and after adding 1TB of nvme is there any point

[@rockitMiC]

@@star__shNope (since 2012!)😊

[@rockitMiC]

@@ljpaewai3863It’s no more à Fusion Drive!!!!

Can you provide a parts list with Links please

[@shanerileyonnantucket]

CAN YOU PLEASE ADD AN ITEMIZED LIST OF EVERYTHING YOU BOUGHT FOR THIS?

[@pokiblue5870]

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…

[@tbtunes_]

10 year old cpu? How much did u pay for it

[@hmu05366]

??

[@davidsmithskytography4852]

Does the imac have an NVME slot i had no idea

[@reginaldbowls7180]

it has a apple introduced type I forget what it's called. But it can be adapted to NVME and is pretty fast too!

[@davidsmithskytography4852]

@@reginaldbowls7180 thank you so much

[@modellbobby]

What i7 is suitable ?

[@SoundzAlive1]

While you had the Logic/Motherboard off you should change the button battery. André
