Nice but if you are buying a mac you may as well use macOS even the Linux memers don't say to install it on macs

Look We can explain to you why you're a fucking unconscious smoothbrain retard, but we can't UNDERSTAND for you why you're a fucking unconscious smoothbrain retard. You're gonna have to work that one out on your own, and though it may take time, I'm sure some day, some how, you'll eventually get it. For now though, you know that your opinions are in conflict with ours, so the only reasonable explanation as to why you would want to post here is because you want to be intentionally inflammatory towards myself and others here. Having shitty retarded opinions is fine, but that however, is not. So, why are you posting?

Kaby Lake and Skylake can operate at full speeds even at 100c.
Source: My Hackintosh OC'd to 4.9Ghz with Skylake.
I lowered it because I don't want to fry it. But literally in the specs Intel says it can go upto 100c no problem.
Apple doesn't OC their K CPUs, so 100c is fine for an ultra small AIO.
Do you really think you know better than the Apple engineers? The company invests millions of dollars to R&D thermals. Fucking kys.

My iMac 5k goes up to like 95-100 celsius when playing overwatch but it never throttles. It just kicks the fans into jet engine mode.

OP was complaining about fan noise. Im not sure this comment helps the mac side.

Yeah what this guy said.
Anthony Johnson
They're pretty easy, unless you're a gaymen.
If you're a light gaymen, just use Steam for Mac, and buy shit from the App Store, there's enough older titles to keep your gay ass busy.
Go back to Sup Forums for your gaymen fantasies, faggot.
Daniel Martinez
depends what you call a regular machine. On my acer i couldn't run linux fully because of lack of drivers. On my macbook everything works fine, even wifi
Josiah Jones
>He just dual boots or uses Parallels with GPU passthrough. >GPU GPU? What fuckin' GPU? There's no way he's running Overwatch at 5K at anything resembling a playable framerate, and it's not even that great at 1080p either unless you turn settings way down.
Fucking congratulations, you spent $2,000 to play Overwatch like my 5 year old gaming PC.

Nice projection. I own a 2010 mac laptop and work on an nice 2013 27 inch iMac daily. OSX is nice, but the hardware markup has gone from reasonable considering the quality, to completely fucking insane, and you're a rube if you're paying for that shit in The Year Of Our Lord 2017.
Elijah Robinson
I can afford it. I make more than 90k a year, outright own my car, and my rent is 400/month.
I use an iPhone, but I always buy used modular laptops, and do repairs and upgrades myself. I've never spent more than 600 bucks on a laptop, that, once I'm finished working on it, is nearly top of the line.
Then I run them to the ground and do it all again.
Liam Wright
No number pad on the keyboard = automatic no buy for me.
Jaxson Anderson
>GPU
Uh the iMac 5k 2017 has a Radeon 580 which is a decent GPU for budget gaymen.
Obviously he won't be running at 5k res, probably 1440p or 4k at medium to low settings.
If you want a better GPU just get an eGPU setup for your iMac :^)
You seem angry and poor.

Parker Flores

Well... no.
Apple is a for-profit business whose entire business model revolves around people upgrading with each and every iteration of the products they make.
You cannot possibly tell me that a business like that would choose to NOT design their products to fail or degrade to near uselessness close to said iteration refresh in order to "encourage" their customers to upgrade. And you certainly cannot tell me that said "engineers" aren't working specifically to ensure that such degradation or failures happen on time and in manners that does not hold Apple liable for any replacement or repair.
I mean did you miss that whole thing where Apple fucking HQ sent out a mail to literally EVERYONE to not under any circumstance confirm that there was in fact a Mac specific virus going around, and that their computer had caught it, but rather to specifically avoid the subject and just check in the computer for "hardware repair" or some other bullshit excuse, charging people money in the process. Customers who then promptly got infected again and again and again, paying out the ass each time for "hardware repair".
Adam Evans
Typically speaking, the people who spend money on stuff like that wind up having very little of it at the end of the month. I've seen people who make 36k per year who have more in savings than people who make 5 times that.
Xavier Diaz
>tfw just blew most of my savings on my new build
not sure if I regret it yet but there is nothing else I want to buy so I guess I just keep on saving again
Carter Edwards
It's not a meme. They are legitimately bad.
Carter Butler
How much did you have in savings, and does your new build have anything notable that you couldn't have gotten just by buying an older laptop, and upgrading components? You can save yourself hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars simply by sacrificing an hour or two.
Bentley Rogers
Very unsatisfying blog. Thumb down. Unsubscribed.

Budgie a cute!

Sounds like you don't know how to shop for quality. I use some old and cheap stuff, yet I have none of said problems.

Sounds like you know a thing or two about quality, OP. Cheers!
Bentley Rogers
How will you ever achieve financial independence with savings like that, user? Don't you want to retire early?
Benjamin Richardson
Sometimes I wish all of the dumb people would die, but then Sup Forums would go silent.
Robert Thompson
yeah
unfortunately I live in NZ and earn less than 50k per year living in one of the most expensive cities because there aren't many jobs elsewhere
retirement won't exist by the time I reach that age anyway, I've gone full blackpill so am counting on there being a world catastrophe and everything turns to chaos

Adrian Lee
No, they're working within certain thermal specifications. They like their products thin. It was a Steve Jobs fetish. If you see the 5k iMac in person you will agree it's a beautiful machine and well worth the thermal compromise, in my opinion. They understand their market, not everyone will be running the CPU at 100% load all the time.
It is a business, but they don't "set out" to make products that fail.
Go google around, iMacs are beasts and they last a long time. The ones with the hard drives don't, but you can blame the hard drives for that. They aren't that hard to replace anyway even out of warranty.
Connor Williams
Their priority is thinnes and a balance of performance. Not performance over thermals. This has been a fact with Apple for so long, I'm surprised you retards still complain about throttling.
The iMac is an all in one device. The cheesegrater Mac Pro never throttled or overheated (I should know, I had a 12core 64GB one for a while).
I thought the 2013 Mac Pro was a joke, although a capable machine, I skipped it and just built a Hackintosh instead.
Apple promised a modular Mac Pro in 2018, so looking forward to it.
