I read from some threads mentioning about the thermal control thing on old iMacs. Especially when replacing the hhd, we have to buy a thermal control sensor from OWC.
im not sure if we still it for the iMac 2019. Because I’m planning to upgrade the ssd on my own.
can someone help? Thx a lot
Is this a good question?

I doubt any of us have done an upgrade on a 2019. Why not get it from iFixit, try it, let us know your results. If you don’t need it, return it.
UPDATE 9/5/19
OWC is still showing the thermal sensors on the models with standard hard drives:

Thx Mayer.
I successfully replaced my HDD to SATA SDD without any thermo-controlling thing. and it runs flawlessly.
I will upgrade the M.2 ssd too after I received the M2 ssd.
Dear Taiyuento
I planned to do the same and came across the info on the thermal sensor cable.
Are there any crazy fan noise, I mean high spinning noise, after your upgrade ?
