Good afternoon, I recently purchased the Blackmagic eGPU but when I connect to my iMac the fan turns without stopping. Not until I disconnect, is when the fan turns off. Does this mean that the eGPU is might not compatible with my iMac? It's a 2019 iMac running macOS Mojave Version 10.14.6.
Thank you in advance for your help.

It's a known bug with the Pro version. Or do you have the 'cheaper' 580?

That's weird, I have nearly the same configuration. Which system are you on?
