[QUOTE="alpina, post: 1650144, member: 347838"] Yeah it's the same problem with the lead free solder on all PC related boards , I've had to send many a notebook system board away to have the GPU reballed due to the low melt lead free solder , but this was mainly in notebooks due to the lack of adequate ventilation and older technology that ran at higher temps, PC desktops unlike the iMac have plenty of air circulation and more options to increase cooling so they don't suffer as badly with overheating, but you have to say the iMac does look the part where the PC hasn't changed in an age. I think this iMac is for the breakers yard sell it as spares if it was a PC it could be sorted for less than $150 it's a shame really nice and quick when you get it running Thanks for your input Nick it's nice to speak to someone who's on the same wavelength Ed [/QUOTE]
