Hi y’all
My Mac Pro 4.1 dual CPU was a swap for my XBox One S. It was purchased direct from Apple UK by my friend who did the swap. He has had it in his photography studio, and it has done light work over it’s life.
Anyways; first thing I had to do was put a boot disk in it and re-install...
I went today to an official Apple retailer to order a replacement battery for my ageing 2012 15" cMBP and I asked the manager there about the new Mac Pro and what are the prices of the entry spec models. I work at a film production company and since our 2010 MacPro isn't capable anymore to edit...
Is it possible to install 4-5 'standard' graphic cards in a MP 2019 (Radeon VII or Radeon RX5700XT)? I mean, is it possible to connect the appropriate power cables?
Hey,
I just wanted to share my experience that I've had at the Apple Store over the past couple of days. Back when I ordered my Mac Pro over the phone, I got in touch with a guy who introduced himself as my new personal rep from the business sales team from the local flagship store. He was super...
Hi,

I think I have following 3 options and I need your help to make the right decision,
Option 1:
Mac Pro 6,1 (Trashcan)
12 Core Dual Xeon E5-2697 V2 2.7GHz
Option 2:
Mac Pro 5,1 (cheese grater)

I received my Mac Pro (2019) on December 19 and it has been working fine since. Last week I added a PCIe card with a Samsung 960 EVO 500GB Solid State Drive for my Windows/ Bootcamp. Last night (Dec 28) I had my first issue -- the Mac Pro wouldn't turn back on after going to sleep (in Windows)...
My 7.1 is a week out and my Nano XDR display is 6 weeks out. Im trying to figure out what to use as a display for 5 weeks. Can I use the Luna Display USB-C module plugged into the 7.1 and use my Late 2015 iMac 5k as the display? The 2015 does not have thunderbolt 3 or display port so Im trying...
I ordered a 12 core 96gb ram 2TB 580x graphics card.
Also ordered a few different storage solutions to really try and speed up my workflow.
Pegasus R4i for internal storage and access to raw files. Speeds 600mb/s
Amfeltec PCIx gen 3 carrier board with 2 4tb nvme drives installed raid 0...
I'm seeing a lot of talk about video editing and Threadrippers, but as a Logic user I'm just trying to figure out what the configuration sweet spot is on the 7,1.
It seems to be the case, going off the emerging benchmarks, that the base Mac Pro will provide no meaningful gains over a low-mid...
I happened to stop by a local Apple retail store over the weekend to see if they have the new Mac Pro on display yet. The employee said they don't and they've been told that their location will NOT have one for display. Only select locations will have the Mac Pro on display. This store was...
I bought a 2010 Mac Pro recently and I just got an m.2 SSD and adapter PCIe card. I was running off an old SSD temporarily while I waited to get the new m.2. Well it came in and I was able to format it, but I couldn’t install high Sierra. I open the installer and let it install but when it boots...
I'm posting here to hear about any success stories with installing ESXi on the Mac Pro 7,1. My work is currently waiting for the rack mount version to be available before we order, but I would like to know what steps others are taking to make ESXi work on this machine or are planning to do.
s anyone know clockgenerator (pll) chip/chips of cMP? It should be on cpu tray. I can't access my 4,1 right now but hi-res photos is ok for investigating. I'm looking for further software overclocking possibilities.
Also, looking for ram overclocking possibilities and tightening timing options...
The only thing this Mac Pro gets used for it archival work and storage. It's got about 5tb worth of storage in total and I use the machine to archive all my old video production projects and photography work. Its also the only machine I have which can still run and load up my old Aperture...
Sorry, another Mac Pro that doesn't boot with any beeps or blinking LED indication on the front, and the monitor display stays black.
I installed in an ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT (primary) and ATI Radeon X1900XT (with an aux 6-pin power lead plugged in) at the same time. It booted, and as I went to...
I have a 2008 Mac Pro 3,1. Since February I've had a GTX770 graphics card and a patched High Sierra install that has worked very well. I just bought 2 new monitors. I unplugged my old monitors, plugged one new one in (which worked), then unpacked the second one and plugged it in as usual. During...
Hey Everyone—
This may be more suited to an OS forum, but since this is on a Mac Pro and I consider this forum my "home forum" :D I'm asking here for a quick bit of advice.
In order to use Ubuntu and an LSI SAS card to format a bunch of SAS drives w/ sg3_utils, I ran Unetbootin on one Mac Pro...
I have a Mac Pro 5,1 that has been running great. Running Mojove 10.14.6
For about a year I've used a M.2 Evo 750 NVME in PCI slot 3 drive as my primary drive with my OS and its worked fine.
I shut down my machine last night and when I booted it up this AM it would chime but nothing showed on...
Hi all, I've read everywhere and to no avail so I'm hoping someone here can help. I have a 2009 Mac Pro (flashed to 5.1) and I bought an XFX RX 580 GTS Black Edition (https://www.amazon.com/XFX-Radeon-1386MHz-Graphics-RX-580P8DFD6/dp/B072B6W44N) to upgrade from an HD 7950, and all I get is a...
