literally all I was doing, was watching this video here in fullscreen in chrome lmao
something tells me RAM isn't supposed to be 109C....
I don't know about easy access, iFixit has the tear down, and its not as simple as I was hoping, though its easier then Apple's iMac but I get your pointFor an added bonus, you will have easy access to the components so it is more serviceable.
Because the average buyer has no clue about thermal levels and just want the latest and shiniest bling, aka the skinniest computer.OP said:Why Apple is destroying the iMac by making it thinner and thinner
Thin isn't the problem. Apple should have never placed desktop components within a flat screen monitor enclosure. Microsoft's iMac design was correct with a very thin display (thinner than the iMac) and the computer components are at the base of the display with proper cooling. For an added bonus, you will have easy access to the components so it is more serviceable.
I find the surface studio (assuming that's what you are referencing) loud underload because the fan is front and center (vents around the top lip). Isn't exactly "cool" either. At least compared to my 13 iMac.
That is disappointing.
The whole iMac thinness thing is silly anyways... it's just that thin at it's thinnest point, which is pretty much meaningless.
macmee,
3 imacs in a row and overheating. Yikes. Maybe time to change name to nomee.
In all seriousness overheating is a serious problem and IMHO the cause of video cards failing since they are unable to properly dissipate heat. We see these issues in 2011 imacs and on. The mac pro was completely redesigned to better manage overheating. Some people are happy with performance there.
I am sure Apple is well aware of the ongoing heat issues with iMacs. lets face, most users don't even use 50% of the CPU or GPU power so this issue is on the minority at best.
What does apple make them thinner? because again most don't challenge their computers enough for the heat to be an issue.

Apple actually had a water cool power mac back in the day, and it had leaking problems, which is something you don't want with a water cooled machine. Needless to say that experiment didn't last longI don't know why they don't just watercool them, and likewise for the imac

That sounds unfortunate but I'm not sure what that has to do with Apple watercooling the iMac in the present day? Many big companies sell slim devices with watercooling such as Acer or Microsoft. The Surface Pro 4 has a really neat hybrid watercooled solution. If Apple wanted to, I'm sure they could do a great water cooling solution to the iMac and finally tackle loud fan noise and throttling issues we've all been complaining about for the past 10 years.
