Hello everyone! I was doing an upgrade on my 2009 Mac Pro upgraded to 5,1 and noticed the North Bridge was wiggly, so I used some screws, sprints and nuts to re-secure it into place after getting rid of the regular Apple Northbridge holders. However, upon installing the new CPUs and booting -...

Hi, had a good search but cannot find anyone that has had this issue. I have upgraded multiple Mac Pro 5.1 (some 2012 and some 2010) to Mojave, as well as adding X5680 CPUs and 128GB of memory, all have gone OK until this one. After the CPUs and Memory were upgraded (fans were normal before)...

I bought a 2010 Mac Pro to replace my dying 2006 Mac Pro. However, I've never considered using a drive exclusively as the boot drive, and all the other drives as storage. Since I already have many TBs of HDD storage, and my new Mac includes a SSD, it's a no-brainer. But how do I do it?

I have a flashed to 5,1 '09 Mac Pro that had been happily running all OSs up to Yosemite and then Sierra on an OWC SSD, for maybe 4 years. A little while ago I re-flashed with a newer version that was said (on a forum devoted to the flashing process) to be necessary for High Sierra, and Sierra...

I replaced my mac's gtx 680 with rx 580, and installation went well. Before installing I cleaned all the fans with compressed air and when this ran out, I used a toothbrush to move dust and eventually carefully vacuumed it or took it out by paper. It might have been slightly moist, but I don't...

I'm looking to upgrade my 2010 Mac Pro with dual Xeon 5680s and came across a matched pair on eBay. I asked the seller if they had b1 stepping he looked on the bois and found this 06-2c-2 he only had a server to test so couldn't download CPU-Z or other apps to check. Is there another way of...

I’ll try to explain my situation as the detailed as possible. I have a 2009 4,1 Mac Pro I bought from someone about a month ago. Since purchasing it, I’ve flashed the firmware to 5,1 and began doing hardware upgrades. So far I’ve installed the X5690 Xeon (it’s a single CPU tray version), added...

Hi, I'm wondering about the best way to quickly use SSD's on a Mac Pro 5,1 via a USB3 PCIe card I installed on it. I'm streaming samples / using virtual instruments for making music from these drives if that's useful to know - would I have issues with either of the two options below...

[Mac Pro 5,1, 10.12.6] For months now, my audio interface (Apogee Duet 2, USB-powered) seemingly randomly cuts out, causing my speakers to pop loudly, then power cycles indefinitely. These drop-outs are not obviously tied to any activity on my Mac--it could happen when I'm checking email on...

hello you all, i've fixed the ancien start problem on my mac pro 5.1, but when i checked the components, i've found the speed of my ahci sm951 has droped to half, it was +1400mb/s read and write, but now only have +700mb/s, did not change anything in the macpro, it's so wired, anyone knows this...

Hi all So first post... I've a Mac Pro 2012 5.1 that works perfectly when running Sierra with the Nvidia web and CUDA drivers. Thought I'd try to upgrade to High Sierra 10.13.6 (17G65) from the latest build of Sierra, not sure build though sorry, although let's just say that the driver and card...

Hi, today I bought a Mac pro 4,1 8core 2.26, 20G RAM 1066, and I want to constantly upgrade it to a 5,1 12 core. I have some questions and hope some one can give me some advice: 1. I just bought it at 370$, is it a little bit over price or just right? 2. if I just upgrade the firmware to 5,1...

Bought one of these and decided to go a different route. Was used for maybe 4 hours. I’m willing to sell it to someone at a discount from what I paid from them. It cost me $448 including fees and shipping. I will sell it for $375 message if your interested otherwise I’ll be listing it on eBay.

I picked up a new graphics card, a sapphire Rx 560, I have a Mac Pro 3,1 so doing plenty of research thinking it would work be cause I had a hacked version of high Sierra running on it. It failed to run and the suspect is the ancient system bus they have in the Mac Pro 3,1. I haven’t heard...
