Easy Mode: iMac GPU vbios Flash
Просмотров 48 тыс.4 года назад
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!

2011 iMac CPU Upgrade - will a Xeon work? Also how about a k2100m at the same time!
Просмотров 49 тыс.4 года назад
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...
SSD Failure! Cloning your Mac and Making it bootable "the easy way"
Просмотров 25 тыс.4 года назад
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...
Make a $5 router from 2005, into a modern solution

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...
Installing Catalina on an Unsupported Macbook - is it worth it?
Просмотров 39 тыс.4 года назад
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!
k4100m vbios available for 2011 imac gpu upgrade!
Просмотров 12 тыс.4 года назад
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,...

2006 Mac Mini Upgrade - is it worth it?
Просмотров 8 тыс.4 года назад
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...
Speed up your Mac, The Best Use of $30 - Raspberry Pi with Pi-hole
Просмотров 8 тыс.4 года назад
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...
Delid CPUs for the 2009 to 2012 mac pro
Просмотров 3,6 тыс.4 года назад
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...

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...
Don't Buy A Power Mac G5 like I did.
Просмотров 14 тыс.4 года назад
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.

Another unseful tutorial. Balina is not supported in old macs
I know this is an old video but I am just upgrading my 2011 iMac. Put in an SSD and an i7 CPU and now I want to install the K2100M GPU I have but your instructions link has been deleted. Do you still have your instructions handy?

uld want youtube tik tok etc..does linux run these/
why can't my 2017 13in macbook pro get linux on with everything working
Thanks so much very helpful!
Mine recently died after performing this upgrade. well the xeon 1280v2. The PSU fell and hit the motherboard (top part above the CPU) and it made a pop followed along with a orange/redish spark. It literally just sits with the green LED lit now, like you press the power button, nothing happens. The green LEDs which are supposed to light up only one stays and thats it. Tried a new PSU to no avail. So please be very cautious. I've built PC before but these iMacs are no joke haha
Thank you Matthew McConaughey.
I tried this but the drive didn't show up in the menu
Guys NVM I'm slow, I flashed the wrong drive
so you can download ubuntu and etcher onto a laptop you currently use and flash the drive without it messing with the computer you do that on? then use the usb on my old macbook?
I installed Ubuntu 24.04 on my iMac 27" late 2013 using my wife's wired mouse and keyboard, the bluetooth/wireless iMac keyboard and touchpad don't work. My wife took her mouse and keyboard back, so now, the iMac is a door stop. Thanks for stating how easy it is. I wish I would use it. On a downside, from "me", I have to give the video a thumbs down due to not being able to use the machine at all.
this video is what started my journey into the Linux world. thx <3
Thanks for helping make the transition easy. Busy installing it now on my late 2009, 27 " imac, as dual boot.
Great content. I think my conclusion is to look for a used M1.
Can you please make the documents available again? Thank you
I have one 2009 Mac Pro & one 2010 Mac Pro!! It's very nice apple workstation. I install MacOS ventura 13.4 sucessfully on my 2010 Mac Pro by using OCLP
Great, informative video but your "Go ahead" count is far too high
Liked it a whole bunch :D
Would anything to date make an iPAD Gen 2 useful again? It's a shame such a nice tablet is just shut down from use.
Great!
Hey Curtis, knowing what you know now about the entire process of upgrading your 2011 iMac, did you find the investment worth it and how much did the upgrade cost? I'm looking to do a similar upgrade on my mid 2010 iMac. Thanks! Eddy.
To find you Mac's IP address you should be able to try a using utility called Fing which is pretty easy to use. You can write down your iMac's MAC ahead of time to make sure you are identifying the correct device.
I would love to see an update for this in 2024 with Pi Zero 2 W
I have 2011 iMac 27 but with radeon graphics. Is it possible to get any graphic card for it?

We want it done for Hackintosh Pc
I know this is an older video so a late reply, but I don't see how you installed OMV on a full version of Raspberry OS, when OMV's saying it can't be done on a desktop environment. Would you be able to explain it when you get a chance, please?
Hi there great video ! Done with a 7100 firepro. Is there a way to get the original apple logo back ?
Great video! Thanks a lot! But a question remains: is it possible to revert? After installing Ubuntu, may I reinstall macOS?
My mid 2011 IMac was just deemed obsolete, Apple in 2024 is also killing 2011/12/13/14. I was horrified thinking my great 27" was now a paperweight. Thank you!🥰
It Mac OS TEN not X…it’s a Roman numeral…the update to os 9
I try but : cd : cd : no directory how about that? Whats wrong..thanks before
Are you still with us?
I installed on a 2008 iMac, then forgot my password - procedures to boot the Grub menu (as shown in numerous places) did NOT work, so I had to reinstall from scratch with the same bootable memory prepared according to the instructions presented here, only this time - no WiFi. :(
18:40 Unfortunately keeping it on High Sierra wont let you run certain software and web browsers will stop working. Planning to upgrade my brothers 2011 iMac to an SSD (with a SATA y splitter power cable for the fan problem) & OCLP to Ventura. Fingers crossed.
It says "command not found" The only thing I can find on the internet is too vague to be helpful. Can you please help? Thank you so much! Doug
I've tried to install the latest MacOS on my 2015 iMac using open core legacy patcher but it's slow as molasses. Hopefully Ubuntu will be better. Only negative is non HEIC support for images!!! Aggggggg apple!
any chance to find the bundles anywhere, since the google drive link is down?
Hello, when I connect via SSH I get the message, port: 22 operation timed out. I don't know how to proceed now?
For the 2011 models, it could run the OCLP Big Sur since it was the lasts models to run it while the 2014 could be running OCLP Monterey for it since the final updates are on macos Big Sur..
Hi, how do you get a boot screen on imac after inserting the Xeon which has no GPU and the k2100 can't be seen because it doesn't have the correct VBIOS yet?
I have the basic keyboard and not mac what do i press with it? or do i have to buy mac keyboard
Is there a MXM card for a 2011 iMac 27 that runs on Big Sur or later with enabled hardware acceleration? I have such machine running with OC Legacy Patcher with a Quadro K2000 but Big Sur doesn't recognize the card and the machine doesn't have hardware acceleration.
Hello, nice video! which graphics card do you recommend for an imac 27 inch late 2009 with a 2011 heatsink?
do you have the same resolution on IMAC display with Ubuntu, which you have on MAcos?
Alright alright alright ✨ i think we have another Matthew McConaughey ❤️
doc is gone :)
Did you use a dell k2100m?
