    MP 7,1 TB3 AIC for 7,1 in windows Bootcamp?

    I know there’s a 2,000+ post thread about adding TB3 to cMP’s but I’m curious about adding one to the 2019 Mac Pro 7,1. Is there a guide out there? It would mainly be for routing nvidia GPU’s through it (via 2x DP’s) to a Thunderbolt Display. Unfortunately (and understandably), there aren’t any...

    MP 7,1 How many TB3 busses should you have vs do you actually have?

    On the phone an Apple technician told me to bring my 7,1 Mac Pro into the shop for repair after finding out that under About - System report - Thunderbolt there were two busses listed - one with number 2 and number 3. But no number 1. Somehow I suspect that this could have something to do with...

    MM 2018: macOS/Windows on internal or externals

    Greetings, I've retired my Mac Pro 3,1. And now the time has come to retire my Mac Pro 4,1 (flashed to 5,1). Doh. But behold, I'm getting a Mac mini 2018 (i7). Yay.

    Boot from external TB3 SSD on 2018 Mini?

    I have a chance to buy a used 2018 Mac Mini at an astonishingly good price, but the catch is that it only has the 128gb hard drive (I need at least 500). That got me thinking - should I get the Mini, but some TB3 estrnal SSD and boot off of that? Is that a terrible idea (will I sacrifice a lot...

    Replacing Bad Thunderbolt 3 port on MBP2018

    I've started to notice when I bump my TB3 cable all my devices (screens, disk drive, etc) on my dock reset. If I move the cable to other ports, it doesn't do that... so I am assuming I've got a port that is loose. In the iFixIt teardown, I see the ports are on their own pcb and connect via...

    Would this work?

    So I've been tinkering with the idea of getting an eGPU for my 2014 Mini, as I'm doing more and more FCP work on it for work. It does the job now, the time to render/export isn't too bad but making this quicker would be better, right? Also, I can salary sacrifice a laptop every year so I'm just...
