I'm not even kidding... It hits 105°c under max load and full fan speed. I've investigated a lot around this problem and it seems to be the way it is. The iMac really has insufficient cooling! One heat pipe for CPU, another one for the GPU, and guess what? Both on the SAME heatsink of roughly the size of a Hyper 212 and ONE single blower fan. This is IMHO the biggest downside of an iMac. But one thing I need to mention too, during idle it is silent. And i mean it, silent.

Oh please yes! I use my iMac about 9 hours a day and I need a new keyboard anyway...

I'm released ^^ Cool that you know them too! I have the 2015 model (4790k & M295X) and play The Division and Battlefield 1 currently. Both in 1080p mid/high @ stable 60fps. Bad thing is the GPU temp... you may not believe it but it reaches 105°C and sounds like a jet engine! I'm really thinkin' about building a PC... something in the range of 6700k/1060 or so.

I'm sure as hell that they won't ditch all the ports on the iMac like they did with the DongleBook. I assume the I/O in the new iMac will be the same as for now, but with upgraded Thunderbolt. Maybe they ditch some of the USB-A for additional USB-C/TB3. Like the following: - AC - 3.5mm /optical - Gigabit Ethernet - 2x USB-A 3.1 10Gbit/s (currently 4x USB-A 3.0 5Gbit/s) - 4x USB-C/TB3 40Gbit/s (currently 2x TB2 20Gbit/s) - SD card reader (maybe not... the current model has one but in such a bad position that you'll buy another one.)

Let me make a vague guess: 2017 5k iMac: CPU: 7700k (recent model has a 6700k) GPU: some strange derivate of an RX480 (recent model has an R9 M395X...). Clearly it must support at least 4 DP streams over those two TB3 ports for dual 5k60hz screens. RAM: up to 64GB of DDR4 2133Mhz, SODIMM. If they continue their recent way of shitting on people they make it non-upgradable, for now it still is. Storage: Option 1 - Fusion Drive with a 128gb nvme and some 3.5" HDD up to 3TB; Option 2 - up to 1TB nvme I/O: Same as recently, but two TB3 instead of TB2.

Blame me, hate me, kill me, but I game on one every day... Not that it would be any kind of a good solution, but first I bought it, then I started playing games... Kinda works for me, better than many might think it does.

Well there is a "True 4k" and a "True 2k". DCI 2K 2048x1080 DCI 4K 4096x2160 And then there are cropped versions for the different TV aspect ratios. Further more there is a so called "generic term" for resolutions around 2000 pixels and 4000 pixels horizontally. Why don't we just call the resolutions by their true names? Because there is one for almost every thinkable combination. 3840x2160 for example, just call it Ultra High Definition - UHD. 1920x1080 Full High Definition - FHD. But still, people should stop making up things which don't exist - like 2.5k or 2.7k.... just staaaahp please.
