    • Man braucht ja nicht eine gute Modellnummer an einen einzigen Apparat zu verschwenden. Apple recycled schon wieder die Nummer A1419.

    • Zur eindeutigen Identifikation dient die EMC 2806.

    • Auf der Rückseite des iMacs finden wir ein Bündel von Ein- und Ausgängen und einen einsamen SDXC Karteneinschub:

    • Kopfhörerbuchse / optischer Digitalaudioausgang

    • SDXC Karteneinschub

    • Vier USB 3.0 Buchsen

    • Zwei Thunderbolt 2.0 Anschlüsse

    • Gigabit Ethernetbuchse

    In step 2 photo we can read 'Assembled in USA'

    Will it be the same for all the Retina 5K iMacs? All made in the US?

    mattizeta - 回复

    I wouldnt say all of it is assembled in US. If you look at step 5, it said assembled in china

    john -

    You get to see just how cheap made in china piece of crap it really is

    Terry Vanderpuke - 回复

    Which technology giant do you prefer instead that does not outsource its products to China? Please name one. Then after you can't give me a name of a single one, decide which one builds the best Made in China computer. You will see why Apple iMac has out-paced every other All-in-one computer. They are simply the best in their class (All-in-One).

    • Der erste Schritt ist festzustellen, ob das 5K Display durch Magie funktioniert oder durch etwas, das sich zerlegen lässt.

    • Dieses spezielle Display wurde von LG Display hergestellt (Das sieht also weniger nach einem Zauber aus.)

    • Ein paar Umdrehungen unseres Schraubendrehers und eine sehr lange dünne Displayplatine kommt zum Vorschein.

    So is this imac sharing the same LM270QQ1 panel as the future Dell Ultrasharp 5K monitor?

    Smadoiu Florin -

    For any latecomers whom may be wondering if they can just swap in a 5k LCD panel into a non 5k iMac, the answer is NO - It will NOT work. See step #7... the LVDS connectors are different due to different bandwidth requirements.

    • Abgesehen vom neuen Display sieht die Hardware in diesem iMac Intel 27" Retina 5K Display ziemlich genauso wie das letztjährige 27" iMac Modell aus.

    • Nachdem wir noch etwas tiefer eingetaucht sind, stellen wir fest, dass es fast exakt gleich ist.

    • Wir hätten den Ausbau des Logic Boards ja dokumentiert, das war aber nicht nötig, dann das hatten wir ja schon! Wir werden unserer letztjährigen Anleitung zum Logic Board folgen— gehe es dir anschauen und komme dann zurück. Wir machen in der Zwischenzeit schon mal weiter.

    • Nachdem wir dieser Anleitung haargenau gefolgt sind, haben wir den Unterschied gefunden:

    • Das Displaydatenkabel des Retina 5Ks ist ein bisschen breiter — damit die Extrapixel durchlaufen können.

    Now, to find an LVDS to DisplayPort adapter logic board... For, you know, those of us that want to swap in a low-profile ITX 16C Ryzen "proper replacement." ;)

    • Delta Electronics 8904CF 143003

    • Intel DH82Z87 (Z87) Plattform Kontrollerchip

    • Fairchild Semiconductor DE32GV

    What is the model of this logic board and where can I find one? Any idea the model or part number of the 4.0ghz board with 4gb display memory?

    See Step 7 ... Logic board removal is another guide. There is a heat sink.

    satishguild - 回复

    Could be very interesting the CPU replacement when the next core i7 appear!

    But will be fully compatible?

    Also could be interesting to buy this iMac, and later go up to the next Mac Pro generations and use this "old iMac" like a Retina Display.

    Faiolo -

    @Faiolo

    These new iMacs can't be used as external displays. The current version of DisplayPort can't handle the bandwidth necessary for 5k displays over a single connector, so Apple decided to cut the feature rather than only support 4k resolution, or require two connectors. So, the screen is stuck with this computer, and you can't use it with any other.

    Cryo -

    The CPU LOOKS upgradable!

    James Katt - 回复

    can this be upgraded to the new 8 core i7 ???

    Paul Rabinowitz - 回复

    Probably not. I believe the processor options available for this have 84 and 88 watt max TDPs, while the 8 core I7 is rated at using up to 140 watts. It would most likely not be able to dissipate the heat under load.

    Cryo -

    Is the headphone socket part of the right speaker assembly? It does not seem to be on the logic board.

    Dominic Dunlop - 回复

    Is the GPU removable for upgrade purposes ?

    I would like to boost the graphics to handle VR :)

    Richard Shine - 回复

    Is that an extra SATA port? Or is that one already used? I did the double SSD upgrade on my 2011- wondering if this one can do it.

    Jordan Shababy - 回复

    It's a single SATA port... But, you don't want to touch that (or just use it for slow storage, like a cheap 2 TB QLC drive).

    Instead, get an NVMe M.2 PCIe adapter, and plop in an PCIe 3.0 NVMe drive and enjoy ~2500 MB/s read/write.

    Got the 17,1 iMac and both the 820-3298 and 820-3299 boardviews are like this picture (except GPU RAM) but my board is different.

At its right-hand side there's one of the U7000 and different from the picture (and from the boardview) mine has its resistors soldered above it not around.

    Apple's Fusion Drive - They combine the SSD and spinning drive into one logical volume. They use various heuristics to then keep the "most frequently used" files stored onto the SSD. Most of the system files wind up on it along with most of my docs it seems.

    A lot of people like me want to buy a standard config model from the store and then upgrade the RAM and Storage ourselves. This teardown story claims this can be done. But I wonder if more information about the storage can be provided.

    The fusion drive looks like a regular hard drive with something plugged into the motherboard. What happens if we replace the regular drive with SSD. Does the Fusion SSD still operate independently, meaning more overall SSD storage? Is anything software related impacted?

    BMan - 回复

    I sort of answered my own question. I want to get the standard iMac so I can take delivery today which means getting a 1TB fusion drive. I was curious about upgrading the regular hard drive part of the fusion drive.

    I'm not so bright so I didn't understand what PCIe was but now I see it is just a card. The Retina SSD is PCIe based....meaning, if you want to upgrade the SSD part of the fusion drive, you simply buy a larger PCIeSSD card. Google Mercury Accelsior E2

    You can also upgrade the old HD part of the equation.

    But here's the thing. There's something even better. You can throw these PCIe based SSD cards into an external enclosure and access then through the Thunderbolt port. That will give you the best possible performance..better than upgrading to Apple's SSD.

    So the short answer is if you are in a hurry and want a new iMac retina 5K, go ahead an buy one knowing you can not only upgrade the internal SSD and HD but also access an EVEN FASTER storage solution via the Thunderbolt port.

    BMan - 回复

    Be wary of saying that thunderbolt will be faster than apple's internal disk speed. Because most thunderbolt cases have a PCIe 2.0 for each drive slot. You only start to get faster than the internal speed once you start striping drives. A PCIe 2.0 lane is about 500 MB/s with 20% taken for thunderbolt parity. My new 2TB EVO only gets about 370MB/s RW while my old RAID0 set of 2 junky drives gets about 660MB/s to 700MB/s

    Ryan Ragle -

    Would very much like to know: Can the stand be unscrewed and removed after disassembly? I see there are 3 screws on each side of the internal spring attachment but even if these are removed it is unclear to me if the stand can then be detached from the large metal backing if the screws / springs are removed. Does it appear as though it can be removed?

    sean2078 - 回复

    Yes it can be detached easily. but be careful its a long sensitive work to reach there and back.

Absolutely! Same procedure as last year's model: iMac Intel 27" EMC 2639 CPU更换.

Looks like you can upgrade to a new cpu (Haswell refresh probably) since it doesn't appear to be soldiered on

Thats unlikely, it depends on the mobo, i have not heard any confirmations of this so far.

wisacks -

I am wondering about the storage configs because there is a slot for a SSD and a hard drive so if I only get the SSD option from apple does that leave the HDD slot free for me to put something along the lines of a 6TB hard drive in there?

Friedrich Winkler - 回复

I'd also love to know the answer to this question!

Tim Camber -

Just got mine with an SSD, while I didn't tear it down, it's listed as SATA APPLE SSD SM0256F.

ZMonty -

This is also my thought. The Fusion drive is a HDD and a 128GB SSD, so would getting a 512GB SSD iMac and then adding your own HDD have the same effect. This question needs answering!

RaviJ -

the HDD area will be empty but will also be missing the cable, so you'll need to get the cable if you want to add a hard drive.

lucasgodfrey -

if directly buying a ssd without fusion drive (and larger than the basic 128gb given with fusion drive) can I add a hdd after and make a larger and better (and cheaper) fusion drive myself or will the hdd slot inoperating

jo sevb - 回复

Do you know if there's a SATA and SATA-Power cable included in the non-fusiondrive therefore SSD only configuration of the iMac?

(based on the question above)

mahatmafatal - 回复

There is NO power/SATA cable supporting the 3.5" bay included in the SSD only version of the iMac Retina - you will only get the cable if you order the Fusion drive. iFixIt does not mention this and neither does OWC. I found out the hard way.

If you want to add an internal SSD you will have to source the Apple cable - I have yet to find it. If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated!

The open power/SATA ports are facing the back of the machine and require 90% disassembly to access - as per iFixIt's guide.

The other issue could be that Apple reads the HD temperature from the drives they support - no support means that the iMac fans will run at 100% all the time. As far as I can tell, you can either run an app that overrides fan control or you can buy an OWC cable that fools the system - I believe that it merely short pins 2 and 7 to turn off this feature.

I moved from an older Mac Pro to the new iMac Retina and I am not a happy camper.

Is there any change in the hinge mechanism ?

Specially the two circle plastic washers that place center of it ... like any material change or design improvement ?

Amir - 回复

I understand from other forums it's possible to disable the fusion drive setup via terminal commands. If you were to replace the stand 1TB hard drive with 1TB SSD, is it possible to then install OSX & Apps on the 1TB SSD and avoid having to use the SanDisk PCIe SSD ?

Also if you opt to purchase the iMac with flash storage only, flash storage would imply ssd rather PCIe SSD ?

ekynox - 回复

Any explanation why the fan in the 5K iMac is oh so much louder than in the predecessor? I don't think I have ever heard the fan in the December 2012 27", but the one in my 5K blows as soon as even a hint of a workload is required.

Hi, is the RAM identical to the one found in late-2013 iMac? The Apple's website seems to indicate it is the same 1600 MHz RAM, but I need to know it is, thanks!

petarkg - 回复

There are many issue being reported with the hinge failing on the older iMac (2013), the culprit being two small plastic washers breaking which results in the screen flopping forward.

I would really like to know if this design has changed for the newer iMac model.

Jaybe - 回复

I want to install a modified, (shortened), stand. It appears that the stand can not be removed as was possible with the original iMac using a credit card to unlock the mechanism. Is this correct? If so then the only way to remove the stand is to open the iMac up? If so, shame on Apple!

Paul Yarnall - 回复

I'm start to getting worried about repairing because it's hard to do so and I am aware that I could break or damage internal modules unnoticed. There're hardly to find mac professional in my country except in apple store which they're not support to upgrade anything.

He 27" iMac had a lot of issues related to cooling leading to frequent burn outs of the graphics card (2011-2012). Do you have any comments on that wrt the new 5K iMac. I can see they changed the exhaust slots, etc.

I'm about to order a late 2015 27" with 512gb "Flash".

• Since there will be no HDD installed by Apple will there still be everything I need to install my own?

• If this is the case is there any reason why this drive couldn't be an SSD?

• 2.5" or 3.5"?

Tony Visconti - 回复

I have this same question on a late 2015 iMac 5K with an 256 internal flash disk. Right now, I have an additional external Samsung 1Tb SSD which I placed in a standard USB3 housing but it would be cool if it could go internally. If you find anything, I'd be glad to share.

Can you replace the glass panel without replacing the internal screen? My glass is cracked but otherwise, the monitor and everything else looks and works just fine.
