Best wholesale supplier for iMac CPU coolers?
Hey everyone, I'm looking for a reliable wholesale supplier for iMac CPU coolers. I've been having trouble sourcing these at a decent price while still ensuring quality. The last few I ordered had high failure rates, which is frustrating for my shop and my customers. I'm specifically interested in both OEM and compatible options. If anyone has a go-to supplier or experience with particular brands, I’d really appreciate your input. Do you find their RMAs straightforward? Thanks in advance!

I’ve had great luck with a supplier called iFixit. Their pricing is competitive, and they have a good selection of OEM parts. I’ve sourced CPU coolers from them multiple times with a decent success rate. They’re also pretty responsive on RMAs, which is a must when you’re in a pinch. I usually pair their parts with a shop management tool that tracks my inventory, which really helps me keep everything organized. Hope this helps!
I used to go through eBay for CPU coolers, but I found that the quality varied quite a bit. Some sellers offer good prices, but the coolers didn't always last. I switched to a more established supplier like Digi-Key. Their prices are a bit higher, but they have a solid return policy if anything goes wrong. Just be sure to check their stock regularly since some parts can be backordered. Good luck!
