About this product
This OWC in-Line Digital Thermal Sensor HDD Upgrade Cable is specifically designed for iMac models from 2009-2010. It functions as an internal thermal sensing cable, crucial for maintaining proper fan operation and temperature control when upgrading or replacing the hard drive in these particular iMac generations. The cable features a thermal sensor, preventing the system from incorrectly maxing out fan speeds after an HDD change. It is a new, unused item.
Our take
For anyone still running or looking to upgrade a 2009-2010 iMac, this OWC thermal sensor cable is a critical piece of hardware. These older iMacs rely on a proprietary thermal sensor, and without it, fan noise becomes a huge issue post-HDD upgrade. This cable provides the necessary bypass, allowing for quieter and more efficient operation with a new drive. It’s a brand-new item, so you can expect full reliability, and the 1-year warranty provides peace of mind. While it's a niche product for specific models, it completely solves a known problem for these older iMacs.
