- Frequently Asked Questions:
- Can you upgrade my MacBook’s CPU?
No, we’re not routinely replace CPU everyday listening to Tech Music Background. We only offer CPU replacement IF the CPU was damaged, ie; water damaged, cracked CPU die, shorted on PPVCORE, etc. You will not happy to hear the replacement price though.
- Can my mac support Intel Core i9?
Yes, only if you are using MacBook 15-inch 2018 and above that natively support this CPU.
- I have MacBook 2012, can I upgrade to Core i9?
Simply NO, because 1. The BGA socket/solder pad is different, 2. Newer CPUs need latest EFI support. So MAYBE, if someone MOD this 2012 EFI to work with latest CPU, only then newer CPUs will be supported(FACT- modifying Apple EFI is Illegal and you might get serious trouble if not done properly).
Ie: Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge shares the same CPU socket, but swapping them vice versa will cause the Mac refuse to turn on, unless you MOD the EFI (iMac 2011). The same case happens for Skylake-KabyLake-CoffeeLake: they have the same CPU socket but need latest EFI support to work(iMac 2015-2019).
- Is there a secret trick for this CPU replacement to be 100% successful?
The answer is yes, especially with this so called ‘long shaped’ CPU.
1. Preheat board in oven(100C) at least for 1 hour to avoid board warping.
2. Remove the CPU with Lead-Free temp(notice that we place it ON JIG). 1:20
3. Reball with leaded 0.45mm/0.5mm balls(we are forced to do this by hand reballing as stencil only allows you at most 0.4mm).
4. Reball is done on logicboard, not CPU(to prevent excessive heat to CPU Die and thus killing it).
5. Reflow solder balls with leaded temp(notice that we place it ON IR GLASS - NOT JIG) 2:22
6. Remove Lead-Free balls from New CPU
7. THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP : Reflow CPU + board at leaded temp(notice that we place it FREELY on IR glass without any jigs, allowing the board to freely flex with the “bent CPU form” at reflow temp) 3:18
8. This method applicable to all “long shaped” CPU as in MBP 2013-2019, MBA 2013-2017.
- Does touchbar or touch id works after CPU replacement?
Yes
- Can you buy NEW CPU? Where do you buy it?
Some CPUs can still be purchased at mouser like this i9:

other CPU model - well if you repair MacBook long enough you know where it all came from,…

for some reason I find this kind of videos relaxing.
pehh relax je share “recipe” dengan supplier dekat description 😅 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Hi! Nice video!
It would be nice to see how you flash the EFI with the clean ME ;-)
Super great content
Got a macbook pro 15" 2015 Mid. How much would it be to change to a much better cpu?
How many hours did this take to complete?
Can MacBook Air 2017 13in upgrade to i7?
Impressive
Is this a service you provide
how about replace gou from doonor motherbord with series macbook A 2289
Can i upgrade Macbook pro 13 2018 touchbar from i5 to i7
can you help me to upgrade macbook 12 inch 2017 to i7 from m3 or upgrade the ram to 16gb. i know ur shop i can visit u
👏👏👏👏👏
You make This Witz my MacBook Pro ? Is an 2017 A1708 With i5
Can upgrade CPU MACbook unibody?
great job can you share your tools BGA MACHINE and Oven ?
BGA machine - Jovy RE8500, Just a normal kitchen oven
iBoff RCC thank you
iBoff RCC 👍
Can a toshiba satellite m/b with an i5 be upgraded to an i7? Thanks does leaded solder work better, as it tends to contract & expand as the socket & m/b heats & cools off?
technically yes. leaded solder balls have better structure and lower liquidus temperature.
@@iBoffRCC that's right. Thanks for the information!
macbook pro 2012 13'' can be upgraded to i7 4 cores?
Unfortunately, no
I think it could be possible but no one tested it yet. The i7-3612QE has the same TDP and BGA socket as the i5 3210m/i7 3520m from the 2012 13" MBP.
Maybe it would also need microcode change on the firmware to accept the new CPU.
Macbook pro 13” 2017 ,, Can I upgrade the processor and ssd and ram ?
What else can I upgrade ?
They’re all soldered down. If you want to upgrade all three, buy a new one.
ON the 2017 MacBook pro, SSD is soldered only ON the model with touchbar, the NON-touchbar model have a dedicated SSD (removable)
could you update the cpu to 8 gen cpu like 8259u which ist 4 core ?
@@stevenp3176 I disagree with you because the processor's TDP may depend on the pch supporting it and in this case, the cpu is embedded with the pch so it will work 100%
is it possible to upgrade a soldered SSD on T2 mac minis?
for now we couldn't, but we believe one day we could
Good work, but how to know the donor cpu is not dead in the first place. 🤞
you could take it off from boards with dead charging circuit, or dead SSDs, as long as you know the CPU has high chance of working rate.
@@iBoffRCC makes sense !! May is ask what is the percentage of successful cpu replacements, which the cpu has to endure two heating cycles? Meaning to remove and re solder? If you had to remove from a Donor, I get why you re ball the board if they are bought. Thanks 🙏
no cpu socket, reballing cpu chip ..
Macbook pro 2015 13" . Can be upgraded to i7?
Technically yes, but not practical since that i7 is still dual core.
@@iBoffRCC not quad core?
master teach me! please 🙏🏻
