LOL

4 and a half minutes can show you how good it is huh weird

@Champion Games Some laptops use LGA and PGA too.

Brooo sameeee

for a mobile chip, those i5 and i7 basically the same config with 2 core 4 theard. just a little difference at clock speed, so it will not make a huge performance difference.

Easy you say?

of course, resoldering at a molecular level is just a nice simple hobby.

I think the difficulty level is a 1 maybe 1 1/2. Simple stuff

Where Did Frank Go? With a bottle of rum and a few go go dancers... this little project will be handled!!

Or a nightmare

@Senior Partner Nope, not how that works. 13 inch macbooks have the lowest specs for a reason. 1. If you want to have a good chip (i7 i9 etc) you need to have the adequate motherboard which are big and they can't fit into a small 13 inch macbook body. 2. If you watch the video closely enough you can see on the motherboard there are specified numbers/codes, those mean that only chipsets that have the matching codes can work on that specified motherboard (the numbers/codes are for the pins so if you don't have the right pins for the processor it will simply not work). 3. Thermals, a chonky thicc boi like i7 and i9 CAN NOT HAVE THE PROPER COOLING TO RUN ON A THIN AND LIGHT AND MOSLTLY SMOLL LAPTOP

@Senior Partner nope...That's kinda stupid I shall say, a lot of laptops are like this, you can't just simply change the CPUs. But laptops like the Area 51 or something it's called, has an option for changing chips, which is kinda nice

unnnnghghghghgh is exactly right 😭

LMFAOOO same, you got to do FULL SURGERY. Once i saw the welding aspect and putting those balls in the hole i said yeah this is not it chiefs .

Ok guys, do you know if I can take the motherboard out of an i7 2.9Ghz 2012 MacBook Pro and put it in my i5 2.5Ghz one? Would it be worth it? Thanks.

The CPU pin-out has to be the same and the BIOS have to contain a microcode for new processor. i9 9900k is much much newer than a motherboard from 2012 Mac, so I'm guesting that this won't fit.

ahahhahaha he would burn the board before

I found The Verge's next computer build idea

it wont boot

Lmao, that would be so sad...I can imagine people scamming him though

the bga pin out is totally different lol. u can have hard time replacing a 2 core i5 5th gen with 2 core i7 5th gen and 4core is not even possible! only laptops older than 2nd gen has socketed cpu and if the cooler is good enough u can upgrade from a pentium to a 4 core unlocked i7 with some bios tweeks! and that's why thinkpad t420's r so favorite of many people! u can swap anything and make it a beast!

He live in KL, Malaysia. Go to Fb, search his name just like in utube

if its a pga then it is just removing the old one and inserting the new one!

Glad it was helpful!

@@iBoffRCC Hi could you do this for me I want to swap a I7 10750H CPU to an I9 12900HK alderlake 10th Gen Intel to 12th gen the laptop is 2021 so pretty new I am curious is it possible to swap this two and how much would that cost me assuming I had the CPU too just the work of unsoddering in eu please..

Probably not, unless you have the equipment and soldering mastery. I don’t think apple does upgrades however you could try to find a local computer repair shop to give it a shot. Try checking out a KZfaqr named Louis Rossmann. He does a lot of stuff on MacBook third party repair.

it is not suggested one mistake u will ruin ur cpu as well as motherboard

Nowadays it's difficult to find unsoldered ram in laptops... For the ultrathin it's ok, but for the standard ones it's bad

Thank you

Same lol

Sounds From The Underground. . I totally agree!

If it really is the CPU, yes we can do the replacement. But early 2013 usually suffer from GPU circuit problem, or VRAM. Intel HD inside CPU rarely died on this model.

few things need to be consider...the compatibility between the processor and the logicboard (bios), the cpu socket and footprint.

@@iBoffRCC do you accept request to upgrade mbp 2014 ram?, like i mail you my laptop and u upgrade for me send back to me and i transfer u money?

livingston wealthspace you can’t because it’s incompatible so the only way to upgrade it is that you trade it in for a 2019 MacBook Pro

No..? It come with a i5 duo core 1.9hz

need bga machine to perform uniform heating from top and bottom side simultaneously..just slight improvement in base clock as change from 2 cores i5 to 2 cores i7

3940xm?

unfortunately no, different solder pads and heatsink. however, macbook 9,1 a1286 2012 can support up to 3840QM

Titanium Tronic I’m guessing more than you could sell your MBP for. Try contacting the company. The info is at the end of the video.

your CPU is not connected good enough. thats why the RAM is not detected

the difference between core i5 vs i7 in this video is little actually, because both of them are dual core. if you need smoother and more power go for 15inch 2012. it has i7 quad core by default

@@iBoffRCC Cheers, really appreciate the advice!

@@iBoffRCC like him I have a mid 2012 13 in Macbook Pro, also with 2tb SSd. I would prefer to keep my laptop and upgrade the CPU- Could I put a 10 core i9 in this machine?

@@Notyourcityyc I bet not. 10core i9 is a mobile processor, not made for Notebooks. And I bet they changed the size of the chip within the several generations of Intels iCore-Series.

Slobodan Marković all graphics installed intel cores will work with any MacBook that already has an intel core in it

hi, unfortunately no, because of different Solder pads.
