Dear Mac Pro forum,
as the HD 5770 I have put in my upgraded 2006 Mac Pro starts to get pretty limiting, I am looking to replace it with some faster card. The perfect candidate seems to be a R9 280x (El Capitan support, good deals on my local marketplace). The issue is it's hunger for power...
Hello,
After about 6 weeks without use, I turned on my Mac Pro 2,1 and there was no response.
No lights, noise or clicks whatsoever.
Opening it up, if I press the RTC button the trickle power led comes on.
If I press the SMC button, nothing happens.
If I press the power button, nothing.

I have a Mac Pro 1,1 and will only be running Windows 10 Pro on it (no Mac OS). It's currently running Windows really well and I want to make it more of a gaming machine. However, there seems to be a lot of info online regarding what can/can't be used. Since GPU's are so expensive now, I'm...
Hello! I've been reading the old forum that was also taking about this, but I thought it would be nice to revisite this topick. I've got a mac pro 1.1 flashed to 2.1, running both 10.7.5 and patched 10.11.6, and I've been wondering if we can get it done this time.
Hi all,

The system boots fine but right when it starts up the cpu fans rev up all the way to full. When I check fan control it shows that cpu b heatsink is running extremely hot. Also, the top ram riser isn't recognized for some reason. Could this be a logic board issue?
Hi,
My Mac Pro 2,1 (upgraded from 1,1) decided not to fully boot up yesterday. It powers on but no chimes.

All others are off.
I've tried multiple reboots with the following.

Just finished installing Windows 10 on a new (to me) cMP 1,1 (firmware updated to 2,1) running 10.11.6. Was hoping to get Windows 10 installed on it to be able to do some work at home using Windows-only applications until I could save up for all the parts for a high-end PC I'm planning to build...

Hi everyone, I have a Mac Pro 2,1 with no hard drive and no graphics card which I intend to restore, but I want to check that it will function well before spending money in a hard drive, a GPU and more RAM. I plugged it in and the Superdrive works, the RAM trays lights turn on, the motherboard...
Hi, I am almost ready to update my Mac Pro 1,1 to El Capitan. It now has an original 7300GT 256mb and 12gb RAM. I read some people say El Capitan disabled bluetooth and wifi, and others that don't. I only have apple wireless keyboards, and if bluetooth gets disabled I cannot use a keyboard. Do...

I recently used an old HP with UEFI to install Windows 10 x64 onto a pre-made Boot Camp partition on the hard drive in my MP. Everything went surprisingly well with it, except I'm surprised to find that the RAM only shows 32GB usable, even though Windows detected all 64GB in my MP. I know the MP...
