Quick question do you get boot and backlight on your k2000m gpu it seems to me OC fix that issue but I can’t confirm if you have any answers please let me know would like to put that one in my iMac thanks again

My apologies for the terrible sound! I have a good microphone and a mac mini now which is silent, so proper audio in future videos. The upgraded 2010 iMac is good, but runs hot and has very loud fans.

@@nicolasarenas8988 No unfortunately, at the moment its in my workshop and I use it rarely as I don't have working internet yet. It may work just find in a colder climate, but here where it can reach 40C its not going to be happy. A 2nd fan could be added near the hard drive or in place of the DVD drive, there is room available, but maybe the backlight inverter could be replaced with something more energy efficient, I don't know.

Nice guide!!!But I have a question, how to choose thickness of thermal pad for k2000m?1mm or 2mm?

@FixTechStuff

2 жыл бұрын

I think I used 2mm, but I personally would buy both sizes if I did it again, because some of it seemed to be too thick despite squashing it.

Hi, what thickness did you go end up going with?

Is this upgrade good for a videographer? 4K Video and Abode Packesge?

I can't say for sure as I haven't tried it, but no. It may handle it, but without the PWM brightness mod the backlight inverter runs full power, generating more heat than necessary and it runs very hot under load. Edited for clarification.

There is also the possibility of buying a faulty used card so I'm still happy this worked. I paid AUD$90 including freight.

You'll have to study the links in the description. I had to plug in a network cable, boot from a USB with linux, shell in from another computer and update the firmware. Nothing will display on the screen pre boot even after updating the firmware.

it may work, probably worth checking if someone has installed one before It may also depend on what GPU you install.

heya, i have a mid 2010 imac 21.5inch. Im planning to add a i7 860s or 870s. Im just wondering what gpu is best to install on it without consuming a lot of power.

You're really going to have to look at the stats, those both appear to be 82 watts, and I'm guessing the performance difference is negligible. Maybe a benchmarking site will be the best way forward, find a compatible chip with lower wattage and see if its performance is acceptable.

@@bereal1251 Excellent news! Thanks for letting me know.

For that money you get yourself an iMac 2017 with a bit of patience and a 2015 any day. And I speak about a 27" model. And you have way better CPU, 4 GB GPU, retina screen and if not already equiped with 32 GB RAM you still have money to buy. (And the 2017 accepts cheaper DDR4 and also can go up to 64 GB.) Maybe you wont have 1 TB SSD, but you already will have an SSD in it (no need to buy) and if you want more storage you have USB and Thunderbolt for a fast connection external drive. Then you also will not have the thermal problems of the thick iMacs. Not even upgrading the 2011 model will make it worth.

Yes these are things people need to weigh up when deciding on this path. Keep in mind the base cost minus RAM and SSD was only AUD$244. AUD$583 won't buy you a 2015 or 2017 mac with a $183 SSD and 16GB of RAM. You can see at the end of the video my option was the cheaper one, at least here in Australia. The price on used Apple products is ridiculous. For someone like me with limited funds it is definitely the easier and most affordable option. To keep total costs down 8GB and a 256GB SSD would also perform just as well. I agree with you mostly, it isn't the best way forward... unless you happen to have or have bought a $100 iMac and decide to spend the $144 on extras and see what happens. End result it was a fun project, it performed well, I used it for 6 months, currently in the process of handing it down to my father who doesn't use a computer for hours on end like me so it will suit him fine. The negatives are in the climate I live in, during summer it runs hot and the fans are loud. One extra I never bothered with, but highly recommend is a PWM module or another solution to adjust backlight brightness.

I was truly interested but the music quickly forced me to stop watching. Sorry bro, just sayin…
