Im more impressed that such specialist tools exist!

They have existed for a while now. You can also do it manually, but the risk of bending a pin (or eating a pin because of the heat) is pretty high.

Here’s my guess, a “refurbished” i7 Mac may have undergone this process. It doesn’t look bad, just not original.

This is not an upgrade, it’s art!

Agreed! The reason why manufacturers moved to soldering CPU’s, SSD’s, RAM, and other components to the MB simply to keep you coming back and buying a whole new machine. It’s the same companies that push for “green” products yet make it near impossible to refurbish your old equipment.

Ele trocou o processador e ainda teve que regravar a BIOS? O Mac não reconheceu o I7?

Very nice video :) but I think that an i7 with high thermal throttling is the same that to have an i5 with normal thermal throttling.

@DukeDudeston

Жыл бұрын

Yup this was my thoughts. I have an I5 ITX build, there is just enough room in there to cool that. I tried putting an I7 in there and the performance increase vs the noise of the fan just didn't make sense to keep it.

Where do you get the upgrade CPU? I assume for another donor board?

the pcb water is called isopropanol, the solder paste is called flux, and the thermal glue is called thermal paste. solder paste is flux with added solder, but the glue around the cpu after cpu-change is missing. ^^ i like the video and want to learn how to replace soldered cpu´s, reprogram chips, bios, and pcb repair. thank you, good work!

There's actually a thing called solder paste, it replaces the soldering wire found commonly. Usually used in automated machines where they use a mask to apply solder paste, a pick and place machine places components on PCB and finally the board is baked in a temperature controlled oven.

Is there anyway to do this without the super expensive heating pad?

Dear friend, i have a MacBook pro mid 2015 with 2tb ssd and 16gb of ram, is it possible to upgrade the CPU from i7 to i9. And is it possible to upgrade the ram by soldering new ram chips to get 32gb.

Now if there is a way to upgrade the GPU?

Master....What is the link for the bios tool

Why ir heat stil @45c

Put the seventh in such a small laptop, can the laptop cool it?

What is more costly? To replace the complete MacBook or have done this? I guess not many people can afford such tools, let alone have such skills... BTW where to get a brand new fitting serial number?

that serial number changing tool is very interesting

Seriously next level!

Cool!, ¿pero de donde saca esta gente estas herramientas?

Can this be done on A1708

I wouldn't ever do this but fantastic work.

I love watching things that are just out of my skill level and things I haven't done before, like reflashing IC's with a custom rom or board soldering with temperature controlled thermal profile. Shame the hardware looks damn expensive and very specialized like an avocado slicer!

Should be added that displayed CPU replacement on programmable soldering station with preheater, is not for DIY at home. Although it depends... for ones who have spare money and a corner in garage or dry basement for it, it is not a problem. But unfortunately not for regular apartment dwellers.
