macpro 2010

Hello all, newbie here. Like the title says, I need a little help. I'll try to keep it short and simple: Researched for days to find a gpu to upgrade from the default Radeon HD 5770 in my MP5,1 Settled on the Radeon Pro WX7100 because it seemed like the least hassle (no extra power mods, single...

So, I had bought MacPro 5,1 recently that came with High Sierra. I used OCLP 1.5 and was able to upgrade it to Monterey without any hiccups. It worked fine. Recently, I got the notification about OCLP 2.0 and I updated it (probably the worst mistake :/). When the system restarted, it loaded High...

I have a real head-scratcher here. I have a Mid-2010 Mac Pro 5,1 cheese grater with a AMD RADEON Sapphire HD 7950 Mac Edition video card attached to an OG Apple 30" Cinema HD Display. OS is Mojave 10.14.6. Everything worked perfectly until a couple of days ago, when a combination of creeping...

I have a 2010 MacPro 5,1. About 4 years ago, I replaced the original video card with an RX580, and added an Inateck USB 3.2 card (slot 4). Later, I added a Wi-Fi/Bluetooth card (slot 2), and more recently an NVME drive (slot 3). Interestingly, aside from some occasional issues during the...

Hello Guys Can someone explain to me why I have to electrically and separately connect my Mac Pro 2010 to an electric triplet by itself because otherwise it starts without pressing the power button and on the other hand it takes 15 seconds before I hear the chime ring Thanks

Hi Guys I have MacPro Mid 2010 with Sapphire Pulse RX580 8GB (and original Nvidia GT120). I have a problem with bluetooth when RX580 is plugged in - it works fine when GT120 is plugged in. It shows all the time OFF and unable to turn it on. Any ideas? OS Monterey 12.6.7

I had some problems installing Monterey using OCLP 0.6.5. I think the problems were due to me not following the instructions. I should have: created the target disk as macOS journaled extended. I think I originally created the boot disk disk as APFS (?). Also, I think the RX580 video card was...

Hello chaps, I'm encountering trouble with VMware Fusion on Monterey with MacPro 5,1 running OCLP. The lack of XSAVE instruction on the chips is stopping VMware Fusion from running on Monterey. The only solution I've gathered is to downgrade to Big Sur. Any one had tried this before as in...

Hello chaps, I'm looking to get into video editing thus my question in the thread header.

Hi, I have a MacPro 5.1 that I am running with a 980ti. I set it up a while ago and I managed to struggle through installing windows to a clean SSD and was swapping it out for the Mac SSD to boot into mac. I haven't used the mac partition for some time, using it exclusively as a windows...

Hello. I have a Mac Pro Mid-2010 (5,1) that i recently upgraded to Mojave after installing a Sapphire RX 580. I tried using a Catalina Patcher to upgrade and when i went to try and do Option/Alt for the boot menu it didn't work. I saw a post online that doing: sudo nvram...

Yesterday I took the plunge and did a clean install of Monterey on my MacPro 5.1. Everything went well and to my surprise both the USB3 cards and a flashed RX580 worked great from the start. I'm also surprised to see that bluetooth through a cheap WTXUP BCM94360 still works in Monterey...
