Now that Apple has officially announced that there will be a modular, upgradeable Mac Pro next year, NVIDIA now has incentive to make Mac drivers for Pascal cards! Even if Apple opts out of working with NVIDIA, users will now be able to upgrade their cards manually. So hopefully NVIDIA takes...
Hi,
With my Nvidia GT 120 unrecognised it is time to find an alternative solution.
If with El Capitan I was able to boot easily under Windows with the help of Bootchamp, today the same software doesn't work anymore under Sierra.
The command line bless is not supported due to SIP as far as I...
Hi,
After few tries at the time I bought my MacPro I wasn't sure if all Nvidia GT 120 have a weird behaviour or only mine.
Back then, sometimes I had no screen when I boot on my MacPro with the official Apple GT 120.
The MacPro is connected to an Apple Cinema Display 24" LED.
In order to...
Hi There,
I'm currently debating on making this move.
I bought my MacPro3,1 when it came out in 2008. (2xQuad xeon 2,8Ghz)
I since then installed an SSD of course, as well as 10Go of ram and a new video card to handle the 27" Cinema Display.
I knock on wood, but I've never had any issue with...

Hello
I'd like to install USB3 into 2006 unit but as it is no longer running as standard, I'm not sure if anything changes. I know it may not run at full speed but it will hopefully be quicker than the USB2 that it runs now. And has anyone got any recommendations.
The current configuration is...
Just installed a Toshiba X300 4TB in my MacPro.
Partitioned and erased in Apple's Disk Utility.
Why does it display different info (at the bottom) for this drive as compared to my other 3 drives?
Why the difference in the info that is displayed?
Is anything wrong with these Toshiba drives or...
Hello all:
Do you think the Phi processors can get into a new MacPro? If not, what do you think can get into a updated MacPro, regardless an updated one can be called MacPro or whatever name Apple marketing uses?

Hello fellow macheads
I am in the process of getting rid of parts from my dead Mac Pro 3,1 that I owned from new. I'm just wondering if any UK Mac Pro 3,1 owners are in need of any spares, I don't mean to self-promote stuff here - I need to get rid of the huge box and various bits of hardware...

I have a late 2011 Mac Pro and despite it's age, it stills works very well, except for its optical drive: Suddenly it stopped accepting any media. When I try to insert a CD or a DVD it makes a strange noise and then eject it. I've tried using different CDs and the problem persists.
Does anyone...
Hi there. I have a refurbished Mac Pro 5,1 (mid-2010). I just recently grabbed a pair of Xeon X5690 SLBVX 3.46GHz chips and had a friend install them. Since the install, my fans have been running full-tilt - resetting the SMC and PRAM has no effect, and I took off the heatsinks to make sure...
4,1 isn't compatible with Sierra out of the box.
Will 5,1 suffer the same fate next year? I'd think it likely were it not for the minor revision the 5,1 series received in 2012, nearly identical to the 2010 models. Or would Apple abandon the 2010 Mac Pro and support the 2012s?*

Hi everyone,
A shopping question:
I'm looking for a SSD enclosure that will fit both the Mac Pro OWC SSD cards and the ones in the MBP w/ SSD models. I found two (see below), but nowhere do they mention compatibility.
I need an enclosure because:

Hi,
I'm upgrading my MacPro but I would need your advise between getting a SSD 2.5" with a PCI SATA 3 or a PCI express with a M.2 Ssd.
My computer runs on El Capitan and I'll install El Capitan on it (perhaps window).
Which of those two solutions works out of the box?
Thanks !
