Shout out to Xanderon for making a super easy method to flash the vbios of a gpu in a 2011 or 2010 imac. This method is WAY easier because all you need to do is copy some files over to a flash drive. No need to partition your main disk or create a linux install or anything! Only takes up ~350mb too!

The core i7 2600 is too expensive, the core i7 2600s is too expensive, so that got me thinking - why not use a Sandy Bridge era Xeon that fits in the same socket? In this video I drop a Xeon 1240 (v1 - lga 1155) into my 2011 27'' iMac and see how it performs. At the same time I also installed a k2100m to make my iMac a bit more of a screamer! Past video covering flashing the video card and gett...

My main drive in my 27 inch 2011 iMac decided to die.. slowly. SSD failures can be detected not usually by a sudden and dramatic death - but a degradation of performance that impacts write speed (and sometimes read speed). Essentially, you gotta act fast and clone your drive while the data is still readable! In this video I show how to use superduper to clone your drive and jump into your new b...

In this video I dive into the world of installing 3rd party, opensource software on old routers to enable new features, better security, performance hacks and essentially make them useful again! Step away from that trash can! The model I cover in this video is the wrt54g v3.0 I installed DDWRT on to it, but you could also leverage different routers from Linksys, buffalo, cisco, etc. A lot of it...

Subscribe and Like! Macbooks older than 2012 no longer support the latest operating systems from Apple. In this case I use a 2011 Macbook air and the Dosdude1 catalina patcher to force upgrade it to Catalina! Do you want to run Catalina on a 2011 Macbook air, Macbook pro 15 or Macbook pro 13? Check it out!

Nikey22 for the win! The macrumors forum has been updated, there is a vbios available to flash the nvidia k4100m to work with the 2011 imac for a gpu upgrade. Now, the 27 inch iMac is going to be the best option here, because the k4100m is a more powerful card that has a tbp of around 100watts, which is similar to the radeon 6970m that shipped in only the 27inch iMac. Best for the 27 inch iMac,...

My Patreon Link: patreon.com/curtisgross The 2006 Mac Mini is a tiny computer that has a few interesting upgrade options. You can replace the CPU with the t7200, upgrade to a SATA SSD drive and technically get all the way to 4GB of Memory after running a firmware update to go from a 1,1 mac mini to a 2,1 mac mini. All said and done you can upgrade from a max of 10.6 to 10.7 Mac OS, which is nic...

My Patreon Link: patreon.com/curtisgross Pi-Zero W I bought: amzn.to/2BhlF3i Older Macs struggle with more complex webpages in 2020, but a lot of this complexity is ads, analytics, tracking codes, javascript for advertising - basically elements on the page that bog down your CPU and take up memory. An inexpensive Raspberrypi zero w with pi-hole installed can improve the performance of every dev...

You can pay upwards of $100-200 for someone to delid a cpu for you... or buy a $27 for a vice off Amazon and do it yourself! I recommend grabbing dual x5675 cpus off of aliexpress and use this method to remove the heat spreader for installation in your 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 Mac Pro 4,1 or 5,1. I think this same strategy can work with the earlier 3,1 cpus as well. Great for an upgrade!

My Patreon Link: patreon.com/curtisgross The 2009-2012 Mac Pro are incredible machines. The upgradability and performance were quite good at the time, and they still hold up really well today with a few simple upgrades. In this video I take a 2009 4,1 Mac Pro, upgrade the firmware to 5,1 and install a new gpu, cpu and 32gb of memory. Please note that not every RX 480 card will work. Use a Sapph...

Does your magic mouse constantly disconnect from bluetooth during usage? Mine did too! This quick fix should get rid of a lot of the disconnect issues that you run into.

My Patreon Link: patreon.com/curtisgross This video covers the start to finish upgrade of a 2011 iMac with a new gpu. you can choose from a k1100m k2100m k610m or w4170 w7100 for opencore brightness control as well as boot screens via vbios flash. The 765m 770m and 780m can also have boot menus now via vbios flash, but they do not support native macos brightness controls. I also got the gpu upg...

My Patreon Link: patreon.com/curtisgross I bought a Power Mac G5, and was defeated. They are not as friendly as the newer macs, and honestly not worth the time to get running unless you have spare parts or a copy of OS 10.4 or 10.5 handy.
