This ain't your daddy's 17 inch MacBook Pro...

[@dosdude1]

This was definitely the most ridiculous upgrade that I’ve ever performed. So glad you got a chance to mess with this insanity! I definitely want to give a HUGE shoutout to iBoff RCC for coming up with this idea, and designing the boards used. So be sure to check them out as well!

[@sjgrall]

Your skills (and mind behind them) are simply out of this world sir. Absolutely mind blowing.

[@Buzzhumma]

Dosdude1 for President

[@CelesteWuff]

Hey man! Great to see you and Luke in the same vid! And thank you for also replying to me on twitter when I had issues with my 5,1 Mac Pro 🥺

[@iBoffRCC]

Actually we never tested it with GTX 1070TI, but we're glad it works! LOL cool demo as always. Just another question - is the NVIDIA WebDriver required for this? I mean, does it will work flawlessly without it? Ps: thanks to Luke Miani for posting this awesome video.

[@rebootretro]

Always impressed at your work!

[@mohammedshurrab6831]

I always thought that dosdude is a 50 something year old ex Apple engineer who worked on original macs and this why he knows his way around the hardware and software. I am 🤯

[@seanedmond3927]

DosDude1, I need this mod ASAP, but can you only use it on Macs that have or had optical drives?

[@elliott1970]

He is 50 he drinks the blood of children to stay youthful

[@BlueSky_BlueSky]

I thought the same. Very few IT people are proficient with hardware and software at the same time. I know dosdude1 from the patch he released to install Mojave on unsupported Macs. Truly unique talent.

[@torsion9497]

I’ve had similar ideas about utilising unused TB chip lanes on newer models, and adding extra juice to magsafe 4pins(+)/mid for ID/body as gnd, tho dunno why would we need so much power input😂 This dude is genius!

[@propjoe1060]

Dosdude is a genuine genius. A huge asset to the Mac community.

[@willm5032]

He's kept my 2008 mac pro going and let me work from home during the covid lockdowns. Its a damn shame he stopped doing his patchers because Opencore, whilst functional is a lot trickier and clunkier than his work.

[@dillyflaps]

He is an absolute champion

[@MadJackChurchill1312]

Okay, the genius level soldering aside, can we also just appreciate dos dude’s voice?

DosDude’s skills reminds me of Steve Wozniak how he enjoy these types of projects.

[@flashxcate]

Yes! They should meet irl

Im suprised that he isnt working for apple yet, that is some crazy shit he has done

[@francisco.amorim]

@ Apple wouldn't like making old Macs usable or newer Macs upgradable...

[@clusterstage]

This guy dosdude deserves a Nobel Prize for electronics.

Let's start with a microphone

[@jameslenney]

I absolutely love the geeky enthusiasm here. It’s great to see people genuinely excited by what they do for a living.

[@montaguebarnabasltd]

Man I love the 17 inch models. Dosdude is a legend of our time!

[@zsombee11]

Wow, this guy is clearly a wizard and he enjoys being one too! Hats off to you sir!

[@blindluck48]

This is so awesome. Bless d0sdude for his Catalina patcher.

[@JasperPlays]

DOS dude is like the good doctor of Mac machines.

[@yeknommonkey]

I love how happy DosDude is to show this stuff to someone who understands just how ridiculous it is.

[@eplazai]

Definitely ludicrous. Maybe one of the best videos that you've ever recorded, Luke. Props on Dosdude for showing and sharing this, what a great guest!!!. Pure genius. EDIT: Maybe the title of the video could be better, I mean, I never expected to see something like this; because it's insanely great.

[@twojstary345]

we need to protect dosdude at all costs honestly

[@JeffCD77]

I really hope that this kid (DosDude) is doing more than messing around on youtube videos. I know a couple of PC engineers that are astounded by the work that this guy is doing and they all agree that that he could easily be working for MS or Apple, etc.

[@notmyname6452]

And yet by messing around on KZbin videos he's already helped an incredible amount of people extend the life of their machines, inspired countless others, etc etc. Considering the amount of corporate greed that has been spreading like the plague, why would working for them even be a good thing at this point?

[@avapire2359]

I love how proud he is as explains how he did it

[@chrisyouthink9250]

Oh my gosh! I love the content white DoseDude and you Luke you should do more Video Content together. It’s so great to see how much fun you guys had together.

Colin is a wizard. I always thought, there's gotta be someone out there just insane for these unibodies, more so than Luke... Makes me want to do this to my Mum's old 2011 :D

[@stephanes.]

His voice demonstrates his tiredness of doing this difficult task

[@davidg5898]

dosdude1 is a wizard and I'm glad he's finally getting the attention he deserves (on multiple channels).

[@josephoduor2358]

Mind blown. At this rate he could literally build a better computer than Apple engineers could.

[@alanmay7929]

I bet if apple only let their software or hardware easier to mod it would have been even more impressive to save all those failed graphic cards on the old mac's

[@reginaldbowls7180]

Pfft he didn’t design this upgrade he just soldered it.

[@onigvd77]

yes iBoff company created these and other upgrades, there’s skill from them and dos dudes to implement it

[@GJoseeph]

This one was 2 MUCH, hardest tier Mac modd. I guess this kind of modd was only aviable in same 2011 model. but this project shows how great this computers used 2 be back when we were on X86 Arch, thanks again for invite dosdude1 aka "Collin", hope he can show us a few more projects 2 fight the programmed obsolesense, his idea is great, maybe with a manual of some kind of friendly explaining + a propper friendly case for GPU this example could go from experiment to bussiness model.

[@steveballmersbaldspot2.095]

Wow! For people with the soldering skills this is definitely a way to breathe life into what may well be a dead or dying system. Hell, you could even offer this up as a service to others...

[@pipoviola]

It is difficult to surprise us nowadays, but this definitely does. It is really amazing!

[@JohnO66]

...and the "nerd -o-meter" just went through the roof!! I didn´t understand one bit of it other than sensing the overwhelming enthusiasm. Absolutely fascinating to watch. Loved it!!

I've been subscribed to Dosdude for years. I've probably heard him say "arlrighty" hundreds of times. He's a soldering master.

[@RyanMercer]

Neat.

[@andrewawakened628]

Wow...this is INSANE! Absolutely amazing!

[@kopyaech]

Is it possible do this set up but with a Mac mini?

[@Bboyman1150]

This is a beautiful creation

I have no use for a machine like this. So what?! The legendary DosDude1, for the second time hangin' with Luke and blowing all our minds. That was a great watch.

[@laserwizard2]

Great video! Glad you got dosdude1 to show his stuff. 👍

[@DJShoji]

Very dope mod

[@tomwagner9980]

Love dosdude and Collin, used his Mojave and Catalina Patchers. This mod is awesome and a lot of fun but it only will help a few people. If Colin did another OS upgrade patcher for the latest OS like the Catalina patcher, it would help thousands of more mac users. Let's all hope!

[@gliixo]

8:45 where is the link?!?! I wanna check this out

wild. glad to see dosdude get the respect

Wait the 1070 Ti doesn't support Metal, it's only working with web drivers up to High Sierra... while the 700 series work in Monterey easily... makes no sense!

This makes me curious to know if there’s actually sized pieces you can put in the unibody that’ll make it work a quarter of good as that

[@johnwaldmann5222]

This supports my view that Apple can easily replace a couple of thunderbolt ports on the Mac Studio with m.2 PCie NVMe slots with ease. Thus the Mac Studio with a small reduction in parts cost, could support 3 secondary NVMe drives. This would solve most of the issues faced by creatives struggling with a morass of thunderbolt limited external NVMe SSD. I really hope Apple chooses to add user upgradeable m.2 Pcie NVMe as a secondary insecure SSD (so that user media remains safe, even if the Mac SoC does a melt down and makes the SoC encrypted primary SSD unrecoverable. This would remove render and transcription speed and timeline bottlenecks when video editing by enabling media to be served at full speed of the SoC, without competing caching on the main drive. For the cost of giving users what they want, and reducing production licensing costs (the intel thunderbolt fee), apple could deliver another genuine game changing computer.

[@boogiedownbronx73]

Luke we need more videos

[@СергейПодколзин-ц6д]

it's very great! I really want this for myself.

[@julieboruta]

Now my question is can you do this modification again with a second 2011 computer and take off the screen of the second one and somehow wire both computers together to be one? Now that be even more impressive.

[@busterj11776]

great, thanks

[@KeyboardSourceError]

This makes perfect sense, anything is possible!

[@velocity211]

dosdude1 is the goat. his procedure to disable the notorious failing AMD HD 6850 in my 2011 MBP. I was this close to recycling it until I stumbled upon his videos and purchased his kit to full disable the dGPU. Truly an extremely important player in this vintage mac community.

[@bb5242]

Apple should hire Dosdude, he has far more talent than anything we've seen from any MacBook Pro engineering effort since at least 2015. Apple should sell value laptops that have lower rez internal video and allow for the eGPU expansion in the same manner--full bandwidth. Apple has made so so many mistakes in recent years. I love MacOS because I'm a developer, but the hardware has gotten iffy. The newest Macbook Pros that are back to a full keyboard and not just lighting ports are better, but so much could be done and so much has been lost due to the people they hired that took them down some very bad roads (soldered on RAM--why why why?)

[@coldwhiteguy]
