    MP 1,1-5,1 Mac Pro 5,1 power supply disassembly and repair?

    After seeing countless posts about people’s power supplies dying I thought I might ask this question ahead of time in case my power supply ever comes to. I’m sure power supply disassembly is possible on a Mac Pro and I was thinking how hard could it be to diagnose and repair the board. I’ve...

    Macbook, iMac, iMac Pro, Mac mini, Mac Pro, Mac?

    A common idea I've noticed(less common now that the new Mac Pro is out) is that Apple has abandoned the Mac. I've always disagreed with that idea. As you can see from the thread title, the Mac lineup is full. Almost. Since the Mac Pro came out, I've kept my mouth shut and just observed the...

    Reactions to Mac Pro 7,1 2019 [consolidate here?!]

    So many threads w/ reactions and commentary...wish it was all in one thread. Maybe we can pick one and migrate comments there? Or start here and copy/paste from other bits? I'd say probably not the "Waiting for Mac Pro 7,1" thread, just because it's got speculation going back so far... Anyway...

    Buying a flashed GPU or a discrete stock GPU to flank my 5770 to upgrade my cMP5.1?

    Ok, it's 2019 and I still rock my MP5.1 with its stock ATI 5770 and its 4-cores 3.2GHz. I have not any impelling reason to upgrade to 10.14, but I noticed that when I play via bootcamp my PC games (mostly indies and strategy games, I have an Xbox for the big titles) the performance of my 5770...
