    Why can i only control my CPU fan once it has started running (I cant start it by myself though)

    I have an Acer Predator G3 that is about 6 years old. Except for a new Rx 5700 GPU and a new power adapter everything is original. My CPU gets about 90-100°C hot until the cpu-fan starts blowing (without me doing anything, that means BIOS controlled, so no software or BIOS changes here) at very...

    Hardware performing below expectations

    My iMac Retina 5k that I purchased around 2 years ago has been performing not so great for the price that I paid (around $2000, I know, what a rip off). I run Bootcamp for Windows 10 on it.
