tb3

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...

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...

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. Grabbing minimum amount of RAM so I can max it out much cheaper by myself. I'm also getting an eGPU. Meanwhile I'm probably making...

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...

From my research it looks like it is possible to put the 2017 iMac 5k Logic Board in my Late 2015 iMac. It appears the only modification would Making new holes for the the TB3 connectors. The reason for wanting to do this is to have the improved graphics card and TB3 for EGPU use. I already ran...

Hey! Anyone with two UltraFine 4k monitors who has been able to connect them to the MBP using only one cable? Either with a dock/hub or some hack. I have search the entire internet but wasn't able to find anything unfortunately. Any answer/help will be appreciated, cheers! :)

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...

The good folks at egpu.io have had some encouraging results with the latest Gigabyte TB3 add-in card and will be testing in MP 5,1. Will be very interesting to see the results. Hat tip to @itsage. [edit] to correct link

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...

Hi all I've just bought a new Macbook Pro (Thunderbolt 3) to replace my Mac Pro cheesegrater. I have a 3.5 HDD (Seagate Barracuda) and a 2.5 SSD (Samsung 850 EVO) that I'd like to put in TB3 caddies and use as external drives with my new Macbook Pro. I have never mounted a drive in a caddy...
