2010 imac with 1st gen i3: 60 fps with 12 chunks in Minecraft My 4th gen i5 laptop: stuttering with 4 chunks

Psivewri: Time to clean up a computer! A can of eucalyptus oil: Ah shit, here we go again

Psivewri: fixing a new iMac Eucalyptus Oil: oh no not again!

"the main difference being that this one is THICCC"

I picked one of these up off the curb a few months ago. Believe it or not it was about twice as dusty as yours was. It was fun to clean! The hard drive was dead, but a new drive got it running again. It's been running Folding@home and is also used for media in my workshop. Great video!

How many cans of eucalyptus oil do you have? >>>PSIVEWRI: Yes.

Apple: We wont let you upgrade our computers anymore! Psivewri: Lets spray it with with you Eucalyptus Oil

This is so me: When you want to repair something but it is not broken, so you break it, for the sake of repairing ...

how many iMac's do you have exactly?

there’s another “cost effective” way to bypass that drive temperature sensor, you can use the dvd temp sensor since it’s the same connector as the drive temp sensor. they used to be like $6US, but that was before the pandemic so prices might be much different, but you don’t need a software bypass with this method

Nathan, You’re a funny dude. When you asked “is there was anything more satisfying then dust getting sucked up by a vacuum?” I was ROFL.

Love every video you make mate!

Psivewri: We'll clean this PC with a healthy dose o- Everyone: PREPARE... THE EUCALYPTUS OIL! Psivewri: of Eucalyptus Oil! Btw I too like to take apart PCs and try to repair them! I did so last month with an eMachines PC from 2011

Man, I love your videos! You have such an awesome style. Keep up the awesome work! 👏

I love the effort you put in your videos!!

Great vid love ur channel! ♥️😀

Great video as always

thanls for the video i as missing this ones. Please do more macbooks and imacs videos like this one :D

You should totally play through portal 2, it’s a fun puzzle game whenever your board

I Love Your Videos Psivewri! Your Videos Inspired Me To Explore Tech And Fix Tech! Keep Up The Good Work!

Great 👍 video as usual ❗️✅

Love the new background look, light stick things look so cool!

Oh man, this video triggered serious PTSD from the times I've had to disassemble and replace parts in my Early 2008 24" iMac, which is still my main computer. The list is extensive. In over 12 years I have upgraded the RAM from 2GB to 4GB to 6GB, replaced the HDD three times before switching over to an SSD, replaced the LCD panel, swapped the logic board, upgraded the CPU from 2.8GHz to 3.06GHz, and replaced the graphics card a whopping FOUR TIMES. There's not much left that's original. And every few years I open it up to clean out any dust in the heatsinks and fans. The things you do to keep computers running! I seriously need a brand new Mac but I simply can't afford one.

I feel relaxed binge watching your videos. It's all aesthetic and I'm lovin' it!

Hey psivewri I love your videos keep up the good work

I love ur videos hope u upload more

Love your videos Man I always click the link and get entertained keep up the good work!

No way!!! You did my exact iMac that I use, I should probably replace the thermal paste though :)

my fav youtuberrrrr

Another great vídeo

Yes. I love the iMac videos !

Great video! So satisfying to see a computer brought back up to speed!

It wouldn't be a Psivewri video without a good dose of Eucalyptus Oil. I love it.

SOO nice and sweet of you reading and respodning to the comments! cheers mate!

Missed chance on upgrading the processor. 2 extra cores and 4 extra threads on an i7 could've made a big difference. Love the videos dude.

really good vid mate !!!! so hard to assemble it like from GB

Great vid 👍

My brother still uses one of these daily, modded with Mac OS Catalina

Bro you are such a good youtuber. I love your videos bro.

i went and got eucoliptus oil becouse of this channel. it smells nice!

Every Psivewri Restoring vid: Eucalyptus Oil : Ah shit, here we go again

Wow! Nice!

This guy is good!

Psivewri is a legend

I remember those iMacs pretty well, since my secondary school used to have a bunch of those in particular along with the older ice white iMacs for the music suite so it's pretty cool to see one being restored by you. In my first year, our music suite got raided once or twice by thieves trying to steal the new iMacs which was pretty insane but to be honest this was like 10 years ago now.

I have 2011 27-inch one and still works great today. These are amazing machines. Great video!

Awesome video...Im still using 2009 iMac .. time to clean up..

😲😲 One word "talent".

Some fan times ahead!

I love the interesting decorations when showing Terraria!

Hey Psivewri, I would love to see a tech shed tour video showing off your collection of computers!

0:41 cant begin to explain how satisfying this is

Awesome video, love when you do mac restorations. Do you have any plans on taking this iMac further with a secondary SSD and maybe even a CPU upgrade? That would be a killer vid!

Thank you for entertaining me for 8 months

I like your entourage!

The second you brought up the can of eucalyptus oil, I knew everything in the world was dandy.

Oh, you GOTTA keep playing Portal dude. It's not only fun, but absolutely hilarious

I love how Psivewri is sponsored by skillshare in almost every video 🤣

Love your videos valuable content, love you from india

Another iMac nice

eres grande amigo mio.

I looove your videos Nathan! I can't find eucalyptus oil here in Argentina 😭 send me a few!! 😜

Dood Amazing you’re my favourite you tuber in my mind I hope you make good videos

Dirty fan promises fun times ahead, loved it 😂😅😂😅😂😅👌👌👌❤️

Having today a Mac that is so serviceable and upgradable such as this one has just become science fiction. Now it's all glued, soldered and unreplaceable stuff. That's a shame.

I am up at nearly 1 am and I needed some eucalyptus oil fuelled fun 🤣

I always seem to have an urge to buy some eucalyptus oil after watching you XD

As soon as a computer enters that room, the eucalyptus oil prepares for the worst.

Nice video

I just got done with a full disassembly and cleaning of the 27-inch version of the same vintage. That logic board assembly truly is a pain in the rear and I can totally confirm all of the warnings outlined in this video! Makes a wonderful entertainment and day-to-day desktop though and that screen really does still look excellent. (2560x1440 in the 27 inch)

yoo nice bottle flip 0:41

Sponsored by Eucalyptus Oil lol

back with a shave i see

Good video.

Watching this on a mid 2010 one, good machines.

Wow another imac video

psivewri: today we are cleaning this filthy iMac eucaliptus oil: *scream *

This might be handy for creative types on a budget.

Love macs

I might get one of these to play mainly Sims 2 and 3 because my baseline iMac G5 from 2004 struggles extremely with Sims 2 and my MacBook Air early 2020 is too new for these games and I don‘t want to buy them another time. But it‘s great to see that you can upgrade them because that makes searching for one pretty easy(I can just buy a baseline 2010 or 2011 iMac and upgrade it because where I live the higher up versions are pretty rare and still expensive)

psivewri good video

Thanks for using the eucalyptus oil at the beginning so we didn't have to wait the whole video for it.

The first desktop computer I bought was an iMac 20-inch Early 2008. I still use it to this day 💁‍♂️

I like how you said the iMacs are “infesting your shed”

0:26 well that aged badly. "Bad M1 iMac joke alert"

Magnetic glass panel? Actually cool

I just wanted to say I hope everyone has a good day 😀

I see you are a man of iMac as well

Could you please try to run a small Minecraft server on it 🥺❤️

with the hard drive temp sensor on these old imacs you can just short the cable to bypass the "feature" that makes the proprietary cable seem necessary and makes the fan spin as normal instead of it spinning at full speed less of a ramble: if you want to avoid software hacks for the hard drive fan to not spin at full speed constantly, simply short the connection of the cables for the hard drive temperature sensor

Btw those hair are awesome

Wow, pretty useful still.

I also had an iMac i3 21” that I upgraded to Mojave. Sadly, I gave it away, for it still could run the 32-bit apps which Apple chose to not support with Catalina and the new M1 Macs. Great video.

ooo new vid

I'm mostly a Windows user (by habit and because of work), but one of my fiance's coworker put a 2011 i5 27" iMac for sale at €150 (they usually cost 3 to 4 times that in France in good condition). He already had it upgraded to 22 Gb Ram (odd amount but I guess he threw what he had in hand and it works fine, so if it works, don't fix it), and a 480 Gb SSD. My fiance bought a 2014.5 MacBook Pro, new from the shop and it still feels as new as the day we bought it 7 years ago. I kind of have the same feeling with the iMac. I slapped a 2i2 Scarlett Focusrite to play my guitar and bass through GarageBand and now I no longer use my amps. It's more than powerful enough to run my daily needs as well (basic stuff : web browsing, document editing, powerpoints, videos etc...). I feel that I could easily edit some videos with it as well, export times might not be the best, but seriously, if you've made it that far into my comment, here's the conclusion : the old iMacs look nice in your office and they can be serious good deals in terms of performance.

I’m in Toronto Canada- and have the same mac- would love to get it cleaned out like this as it gets way too hot and i don’t want to damage it or replace it
