Installing MacOS Monterey On A Late 2013 iMac Using @Mr.Macintosh Guide Plus SSD & 16GB Ram Upgrade
I install MacOS Monterey on an unsupported late 2013 iMac using the @Mr.Macintosh open core guide and upgrade the ram to 16GB and upgrade it to a 500GB SSD.
The difference is night and day and it was well worth the upgrade.

How to set up a Home Electronics Lab for Repairs.
Просмотров 45 тыс.8 лет назад
A quick video of my home Lab setup. Still a work in progress.
I'm going to attempt this today 6/24/24 I have not done this method before without doing TSOP first hopefuly it works. I will post here later my finds. PS : i'm adding a 500gb sata drive.
How did it go?
So it did work and I was amazed because this was the first time I work on a 1.6 I've worked with 1.0 up to 1.5 and had to TSOP flash them every time and I have worked with chimp before and it just wouldnt work with soft modding which was way easier. The bad thing though, as soon as I finished the procudure the xbox wouldnt turn on and even changed the power brick for one that I know for a fact works and it wouldnt turn on, after doing some digging I found out that I need to change the 5 transistors which will do some time later. In conclusion, your method worked! so thank you for that. I'm amazed that you were the only video I found on youtube that actually worked and there aren't at least on my experience no other videos explaining that 1.6 only needs to be softmodded and not flashed in order to upgrade your HDD.
Thanks, great vid. May I ask which brand of RAM you used there? I'm hoping to buy the same model and year of late 2013 iMac. I was thinking of attaching an SSD externally in a caddy plugged into one of the USB 3 slots on the back. Would the speed be as fast as yours internally? Or does the external attachment via USB limit the speed? Thanks again.
Hi, Thank you very much for your video. It's really helpful. I am really appreciated if you can let me know the model of CPU number of that CPU.
What i7 did you install?
these units were pretty upgradeable, granted with quite a bit of work. the gpu can also be upgraded to like a quadro k1000m 1gb graphics. although unnless its for tinkering is it really worth it these days?
W ant the frames on warzone
hey bro! a tip for you... if you are doing this and accidently break the lcd temp sensor you can actually replace it with the lcd temp sensor from the mid 2011 21.5 inch imac as the connector is identical the cable is just a lot longer... i found this out when i broke my oem lcd temp sensor and the only one i could find was one for the 2011 model...
I just bought one of these, and the instruction manual was vague, to say the least. Anyway, I just set it up after watching your vid, had a play, and I managed to join a couple of test pieces of steel together, and run some lines of weld on them. So thanks!
Glad it helped.
a step by step Video guide on installing Big Sur Or Catalina would be much appreciated - ive got the same Dell Optiplex 9020 MT with stock intel graphics , cant find a clear guide , the one on Tonymacs86 is very long and confusing. thanks in advance
Someone please talk about the fact that these computers are no longer supposed with security updates from Apple. I agree that they are fantastic in terms of speed and power but what about security anyone who has knowledge of this please add to this conversation I just wanna understand it.
Older MacOs versions no longer receive security updates and are obsolete. You can update these older systems to a newer supported MacOs using Dosdude's patcher and they become current again. Search Dosdude's patcher for more info.
Think you need some lessons.Too far away from the work and too much wire sticking out
Nice job!!!
Can you use the non S model like i7 860
Only on the 27 inch model. Not on the 21.5 inch one. The 27 inch model has a better power supply to handle the non S variant.
@@retrotech2020 but what if you put it in is it going to cause problems or is it just going to run hot
@@reeeee3398 No its fine in the 27" one. It has way better cooling.
If it has a NVME slot, it will work, upgraded my 2013 imac with a 1tb hdd, 16 gb ram, and a nvme 1tb drive and a 1 tb ssd drive running Ventura.
Is there anyway to replace the mobo?with mods ?
do you know if the i7 supports 32gbram 4x8gb
Yes it does :)
@@retrotech2020 i have the exact same computer I upgraded the memory from 4gb to 8gb and it is better now, I was thinking about do the full upgrade with i7 860s 32gb ram and ssd disk, I only use Logic Pro x and it could be worth it, very nice video good job done
@@retrotech2020 this is crazy do it support intel i9 or are the cooling system to bad for it, nice video once again
@@lellegrolle9495 the i9's came out way later. i7 860S is the best it can support.
@@retrotech2020pretty sure they can take an 870s however they are hard to come by.
Trying to figure out why my PC wouldn't POST after the CPU upgrade. The obvious answer is because I didn't upgrade the power supply, but could it be that I've neglected to modify a setting or need to reset the CMOS or something like that?
Did you update the bios first?
@@douglydiate7575 I did A20
Do I need the Bluetooth adapter?
RTX 3050 possible to install?
You cant get a rear blower style card so not really unless you run it with the lid off the PC.
@@retrotech2020 whats your advice for playing high end games? GTX 1050 ti?
@@altunonur GTX1660 super is the card I would choose for this setup.
@retrotech2020 i will try RTX 3050 because I think DLSS option will be good for games. I hope get extra fps.
Thanks for that, I've just ordered one off Amazon for £115. I just like the fact that its gasless & don't have to find a big bottle of CO2. All the best & have a happy Christmas.....
Enjoy! Happy Christmas.
That memory stick has to be the same batch and version, x58 boards are really picky
Massive thanks! I'm going to try to do the same to my R2. Clear and pedagogical
I currently have a GT740 what steps do I have to do to have it working with the Gigabyte RX 460 4gb?
Wich i7 is that imean gen and whats the max that the mb can handle
1st gen and that's the fastest.
My 1.6 I did at insignia launch I put in a 500gb SSD.. it did not need chimp I partitioned the new drive without external power just a PC and USB SATA cable... I'm wondering if this is a PAL Xbox u did here not because it needed power but because of the extra steps like that custom extras disc u had. it was way different from what I had done to my stock HDD softmod + SSD swap.
Is there a tutorial for you how you did it?
It is a Pal version.
i wanna know what i need to do if i want to put 1 tb to that console mine is the same version that yours it is posible to add that hard drive ??
Thanks for the nice video. I have an identical iMac with an SSD drive (two SSDs in fusion drive) and a Catalina system. I would like to ask about the installation without formatting the SSD (directly system upgrade) like you did. Is the system and its performance OK? My mac is really full of software and I don't want to complicate it with Migration Assistant form Time Machine yet, I read that it can cause problems. Thank you, Kamil
Hi , what is the size when buying a power supply for the pc? I've bought one but it's not giving enough power and the pc keeps turning off and then on again. Im trying to figure out if its from the power cable or is it from inside a part that needs replacing.
There's 2 power supplies available for these. 250 watt or 330 watt. You need the 330 watt one.
@@retrotech2020I can't seem to find an OEM anywhere. Would you have any advice on how to proceed? Thank you in advance
How do you find tips tat will fit the thing?
Going to mod my 1.6 crystal. Need a soldering iron to take out the old capacitors. One actually burst as I tested it - it didn’t cause any damage as far as I can tell. Can’t wait to try and mod it!
Have fun!
so you didn’t upgrade the graphics while you were in there?
It's integrated graphics not dedicated. Intel Iris Pro.
why you don't install nvme m.2! and not show as speed test ssd !
That will keep it going for a while!👍👍 I have not fettled Apple Mac computers, I do have a 2010 Mac Mini which is dead.
Yes it's certainly breathed new life into it and it's a very capable machine now.
Awesome!
Thanks.
Hey there, love your content and style of it! Me and a few other guys are doing a budget computer build off if you like to join, good content for all and an enjoyable video to make (budget will be 30£) and I’ll throw you a discord invite if it sounds like something you might be Interested in!

😕 Promo'SM
Does that ram actually run at 1866mhz? I have 1600mhz installed and it only runs at 1333mhz... ive seached online and dell forums only to have dell techs amd others tell me that the x51 can only do 1333mhz and me tell them I bought the damn thing and show them the build list showing 1600mhz. I know 100% that it was 1600mhz but I hadnt used the PC in a while and the cmos battery died and it lost whatever setting dell had set. Im on latest bios and cant find any solution to get ram running back at 1600mhz
It was running at 1600mhz. The board didn't support 1866mhz. Try loading optimal settings in your bios.
@retrotech2020 I've done all I could in the bios, including reverting to defaults and disconnecting the cmos battery (because it was dead 😆) After replacing the battery it still doesn't show proper speed, I'm lost to what it could be. Thanks for the reply
@@nonamemcnotaspy8654 How strange. My only suggestion from there is different ram modules.
She posts 🙌 Just wondering if that AIO is pumping fluid? those temps where high for idle in the bios. That said awesome build for the price and yes X99 is still a goer in 2023, my main rig is a v4 xeon 💪
You're right. The AIO pump got noisy so I've ordered a new AIO. I might even replace my Zen system with this as my daily.
Well cleaned and saved!👍👍
Seems a bit hot for idle, maybe the AIO is clogged, wonder what it will hit on Cinebench
Yes the AIO is faulty. A new one on order. I'll be doing a follow up video benching it.
The motherboard is mini itx?
It's a Dell propriety motherboard. You can't swap it for a standard ITX.
A well presented video.👍
Thank you! 👍
That's a steal, good work!
It was. Thank you.
Need get closer
Thanks for the video, I will be using this as a guide when upgrading mine. A question for a complete beginner if you don't mind - I am thinking of upgrading to an 8 pin GTX 1660 and note that my current GTX 660 (and the card you used in the video) are all 6 pin.. Is this machine capable of changing the 6 pin to 8 pin or will there be some sort of compatibility issues? Many thanks
You need to stick to 6 pun as the power supply is not enough for 8 pin cards. I'd suggest a 6gb 1060 would be a better choice as they are 160 watt max.
@@retrotech2020 Thanks for the response I thought that may be the case after having a look inside after posting my original comment. I was going to get the 1060 6Gb but ended up going for the 1650 Super 4GB but with GDDR6 because it seems to get slightly better scores and is lower power (and both only £100 on CEX with 2 years warranty!). Hope I made the right decision and 4GB is enough!
@@MarkTodd88 Those 1650 GDDR6 cards actually run very well for such low power useage.
I’m dual booting my 3020 and Ventura has overwritten my EFI. Would reinstalling Windows 11 add it back to the EFI partition or is it a more involved process?
You could try. Personally I'd start from scratch amd reinstall both OS's
Is your intake fan 80 or 92 mm?
80mm
@@retrotech2020 thanks, I did the same but tilted the fan in order to get a flush fit. From the angle in the video, your implementation does look cleaner compared to mine. I also zip tied a 140 mm between the HDD tray and the bottom 5.25” bay.
Holy smokes, 10 P for all that… you lucky man lol awesome job by the way!
Thanks 👍
I use stock psu + gtx 1060 it work nice 😂
I just tried this and it works great.
hi i took mine apart as it was not flowing any gas yes it was filled🤣 i dropped the gause in the brass tip at the end of the silicone tube in the garden i think is called the catalist now it flows gas but its just like a lighter i would like to fix it do you have any suggestions
