Upgraded a 27" 2011 iMac! Complete with a Sonoma install via OCLP, CPU, GPU, RAM, and SSD! Detailed my journey + solutions to issues I faced in case it helps others revive these old beasts

Finally have the fully upgraded 2011 iMac up and running!

I edited the video and am typing this post on the iMac right now!

My 2 main goals with this video is a reference for myself to be used in portfolios BUT also to hopefully have covered some issues others may experience with potential solutions and other helpful details.

Specs:

- i7 2600

- WX 7100m (flashed as RX 480m)

- 16GB (4x4) 1333mhz DDR3 SODIMM

- 1TB MX500

- Sonoma 14.7.6

Really proud of how this turned out, Cheers! 🍻
