For upgrading the Hard Drive in 27-inch iMac (Late 2012 - Early 2019) models. Improve Performance and Capacity. Upgrade Your iMac with Confidence.

Improve Performance and Capacity. Upgrade Your iMac with Confidence.
OWC's in-line solution is the only hardware digital thermal sensor on the market allowing a third-party SATA drive to be installed in your iMac. A convenient, plug-and-play cable, the In-line Digital Thermal Sensor eliminates fan noise and maintains proper system fan control through the iMac's System Management Controller. This innovative device is designed specifically for the iMac, requires no software hacks and ensures compatibility with Apple's built-in diagnostic processes.

Using an OWC Internal HDD DIY Kit (sold separately), replace your iMac's original hard drive with up to an 8.0TB hard drive or a lighting fast SSD with a NewerTech Adaptadrive, for dramatic upgrades in storage capacity or data speed while maintaining the original system's fan and diagnostic performance.

If you need an upgrade kit with tools, you can purchase the OWC Internal HDD DIY Kit

OWC In-line Digital Thermal Sensor for Hard Drive Upgrade for 27-inch iMacs 2012 and Later

My late 2014 iMac needed a new hard disc, so I fitted an SSD and used this, as I understand that it is needed to control the fan speed and I didn't want to try it without and then have to split the screen from the case again to retro-fit it.

Having done an extended write to the SSD during cloning and it barely got warm, I wonder if this is really necessary when fitting an SSD rather than a mechanical HDD?

Perhaps a cheaper-to-produce model could be made for SSDs that instead of giving OSX an actual temperature reading from the sensor, it simply had a fixed resistor that was the equivalent of '20 degC all is well' to send back to OSX?

Although I appreciate that this is a specific OWC connector, the price is quite steep for what it's made of, so three stars instead of five.

Anyway, it got the job done and all is well.
