Upgrade iMac 2019 (SSD 2TB, RAM 128GB, OS Ventura)

[@zsombee11]

You could also upgrade the CPU on this model from i5-8500 to i9-9900kf, since the power supply can handle it, and also there is a blade ssd type socket on the motherboard that can easily be adapted from apple type to m.2 nvme.

that would make more sense, that way you get far superior reads and writes and use the sata harddrive as storage. might do that on my 2017 5k imac.

2019 iMac not need upgrade to 128gb ram.i tested many time 64gb ram more smooth then use 128gb ram with same performance.

You forgot to mention the random Kernel Panics for using OWC RAM :)

thank you for this exhaustive explanation. I have a 2019 27" iMac, is possible to put inside a 4T ssd?

[@sevagtankabalian91]

Yes it is possible and it can be detected by the main logic board with no issues at all👌

I have a 2019 iMac 27in with an 8TB SSD

The Mac is not a PC! Why would you think it has such stupid limitation?

[@MACBoricua]

Thank you MacFan. Yes, despite their age, these iMacs are standing the test of time.

Hi thank you very much for doing this video. I was planning to do the same on my iMac however, looking on the OWC website they have an SSD driver upgrade kit that comes with a thermal sensor it plug in between the drive cable and replacement drive to prevent the internal fans from running full speed. did you have this issue when you've done it on this Mac? Because I definitely did not see you put a thermal sense on?

[@richiperez8117]

Thanks for showing and teaching how to do it!!

[@bug-productions]

Many thanks for the music!

According to Apple, you're not supposed to upgrade your mac like this. If you need any upgrades, you should buy a new mac.

Wow! That looks very upgrade-friendly for Apple. Today, you can't do this.
