cMP 5.1 - how to test temp probe on CPU heatsink?
Hi, a friend of mine tried to upgrade his dual CPU 2010 cMP and it turns out like it failed. The guy won't start the the 2 CPUs attached.

High Sierra 10.13.6 and Boot Rom 140.0.0.0... Gone too Far?
Hi, I wanted bootable NVMe and Nvidia support, and I knew the 387.10.10.10.40.122 drivers worked OK on 10.13.6 so didn't think anything of applying the prerequisite Mojave firmware 140.0.0.0... then when I tried to install the drivers (using the nvidia-update script on github) it said that there... -

MacPro 3.1 CPU upgrade
Dear Friends, help me to choose CPU to upgrade my 1CPU cMP 3.1. As I understand it is not worth using 3.2 GHz CPU because of TDP 150w vs 3.0 TPD 80-120 (E or X version). So, I have question: which CPU I can use with Mac Pro 3.1 2008: 1) X5472 or E 5472 2) SLASA or SLANR? (As I remember from... -

cMP 4,1 / 5,1 Exhaust fan replacement
Hey folks, the rear exhaust fan of my cMP 4,1 started to rattle and make noises. Therefore I'd like to replace it. I found some used cMP fans on ebay and was wondering if I can use a 3,1 exhaust fan as well? Are they interchangeable? The design looks very similar. Thanks. -

bad 4.1 dual processor board?
What can be wrong on a 4.1 tray? It's only on the CPU B side. It's not the CPU, swapped several times. It's not the memory, swapped as well. With another tray everything is fine. I know this tray has been sitting in a computer who ran hot, it killed the CPU B, replaced it, but something else is... -

cMP, RX580, and FCPX performance
I recently installed a Sapphire Pulse RX580 8GB card into my 4/5,1, with 32GB RAM and X5680. Boots from Apple SSD SM256E/PCIe; SATA SanDisk Ultra II 480 as working drive. Based on a few comments here and there, this should be the final piece to enable 4K FCPX. I wanted to compare this to my... -

AMD MSI 560 will it fit my cMP 2009?
I am thinking about replacing the Nvidia 640 (flashed) I bought from maccvid, as I am losing faith that the Apple vs Nvidia Cuda update will be resolved that soon - and I looked at the AMD MSI 560 - but I heard conflicting reports on its height - double height, more than double height...

CMP as slave to new Mac Mini over Ethernet - workable?
I’m considering a Mac Mini 3.2ghz 6 core as my main After Effects Mac and using my cMP as a render farm. I’m thinking of speccing the Mini with a 512gb SSD and using it as a boot/system drive and After Effects cache. I’m then thinking of attaching the Mini to the cMP via Ethernet and... -
Server Duty: cMP vs. Mac mini 2018
I've made no secret of my opinion about the (over)pricing on the new Mac mini in other threads, and my own (personal + consulting company) tally of Mac Pros is now up to 6 :D (1 x 2006, 1 x 2007, 1 x 2008, 2 x 2009 (4,1>5,1), 1 x 2010)...so clearly my thought process is always leaning toward the... -

I now own multiple cMPs, how to compare components?
I thought I'd include this quote because it describes my situation perfectly. I have had a single processor 2009 cMP for over a year now, and saw a great deal on a dual tray 2009 and picked it up as well. Other than cosmetics and the tray, what would be the best way to determine which... -
