Yep, I did the plist hack for Premiere and After Effects back when I was using CC, though the options are still there in CC 2014.
Regarding CUDA, Premiere CC 2014 has a drop-down with both CUDA and Open-CL for their Mercury Engine.
Got a tip for us?

Ahh ok, good to know. I have never updated to CC, not a big fan of subscriptions like that and they are still updating CS6.
Yeah, I'm not a fan of the subscription model, but I get it at a crazy price through my workplace. Also have CS6 just in case, but I use the CC features extensively.
I'm running the gray Piker-Alpha hack as of a couple of months ago on my 2,1 8-core with no problems and both of my RAM risers are full of 2 and 4G DIMMS in addition to the 2 512 sticks that came with the machine. total is 17G. they used to get pretty hot (168F via iStat Menus) but I've upped the fans a bit and they stay between 135 and 148F now. I hope you solve your problem but I doubt it's something inherent to the design of the machine.
edit: I did just recall a RAM-related no-boot situation I suffered using Mavericks with the Tiamo hack earlier last year. I got the bad-RAM beeps so I started pulling modules to find the bad one. after swapping them all out and around everything started working fine again. who knows.
I'm also running the same hack on the same kind of machine. I haven't paid much attention to temps, because I haven't been really doing that much intensive stuff with the machine lately. (FYI I experienced the first set of continuous reboots while watching a movie... I guess I should check ram temps under those circumstances). I'll also run a RAM check and try moving them around to see if I get the same reboot issue.
So I got my graphics problem. Started with Preview and then it caused most of my other applications to crash.
Here's what the crash reporter said for Preview: http://pastebin.com/8FBFtKJP
And this is what it said for Premiere: http://pastebin.com/0kBHnEqP

Yep. And when I restarted, I got three chimes, so I'm going to reset the PRAM and see if it still does it. (Didn't when I was using Lion).
Managed to get my videos exported as long as I didn't touch any other program. Will see if I get the same results when I choose to use software only for my renders.
*Edit* So I reset the NVRam and the three chimes were gone for a couple of reboots, but now are back. Did an SMC reset and it didn't help. However, now I'm not getting signal from my GTX 560 Ti. I wonder if the card died. Sigh. I'll have to dig out my old 7300 and see if I can get a boot screen.

Hey Guys.
Been really busy lately with school. Anyway, I still have the Little Snitch boot issue. I am trying to reinstall 10.10 but it finished the install and restarts and gets stuck on a black screen. I am going to try to go to the recovery disk and see if I can reinstall from there. I know the nightly build could be the solution but I have been having glitches with Safe Mode also.. I will try the nightly build after I try to do a fresh install. Also, I am aware that Onyx can repair the "boot cache" I have tried everything on Onyx and got nothing. I could be doing something wrong, not sure.
Thanks.
[Edit]
There is something else that odd. My disc drives click on startup. I know this is normal to check for discs. The problem is, it will get stuck in a loop where it keeps checking and it does it either 1 time, 2 times, or 6 times. When I restart to complete Onyx it gets stuck in the loop. When I restart to complete the OS X reinstall it gets stuck in the loop. I have removed one drive and tried it and same with the other. I can't seem to find whats wrong. I know it is not my hard drive if you are wondering. I am 100% sure it is coming from the disc drives. I could use the computer if I just restarted a couple times and it worked but now since the boot cache is messed up from LS, theres a bunch of issues. Before I can do anything I need to fix the clicking loop. The system WILL NOT reboot unless it completes the check. Another thing is, I have a graphics card that is not flashed so to do all the recovery or booting from USB I have to put my old card in and test which I have done probably 1000 times. I am willing to keep going but I need some guidance. Also the mac will boot into Safe Mode which is how I tried Onyx. I am going to try to instal LS 3.5.1 the latest build that has the fix for the boot cache. Hopefully that will work. I hope someone can figure this mess out with me!
[Edit]
Ok. I got the clicking to stop by just simply removing the drives. I haven't seen any issues with that and now I am trying to fix the boot issue.
Can someone please tell me exactly where to go on Onxy to rebuild/fix or whatever there is a bunch of stuff that says boot cache.
Cheers y'all

Humann, what are you using to adjust your fan speed? Reason I ask is, I downloaded the latest version of smcFanControl (2.5.2) but it's giving me incorrect temperatures. Worked fine when I was on 10.6.8, was hoping to use it with Yosemite.
Thanks
I've been using iStat Menus' simple (4 above default) settings that work on all the fans together but Charlan's suggestion looks way better, far more granular control.

Wow, looks great, definitely going to try this when I get a second. Thanks.
Had to go back to Lion
My first attempt to upgrade to Yosemite has come to an end. Eventually, I wasn't able to get a video signal out of my GTX 560 Ti. I'd had video error messages from the start and even after using the latest drivers from NVidia, they persisted.
I'm thinking on my next attempt, I'll try a clean install rather than an upgrade, and maybe track down an Apple branded HD 5770 that has a boot screen.
Is there any other way to just get CUDA to work rather than upgrading to Mavericks or Yosemite?

OSXWifi card?
So I installed the osxwifi card for the 2006 Mac Pro - for some reason it doesn't recognize the BT element - the wifi is fine, and shows up in the system profiler, but BT says missing (I removed the original BT chip).
Any ideas? I haven't hooked up the power cable as not sure where I should hook it up on the main board.
I emailed the guys at OSXWifi but they haven't responded. If nothing works, I will contact my CC company and ask for a refund.

Only after removing the original BT chip and rebooting did my Mac Pro recognise the card provided by OSXWiFi, which works flawlessly. Naturally, for it to work you need to attach all four Mac Pro antennas to the new hardware. If I remember correctly, the Bluetooth antenna is to go to the third socket. To which socket you attach the other three (Wi-Fi) antennas is irrelevant, except for cable length, meaning the shortest wire should go to the topmost socket, the longest one to the bottommost socket and the medium-length one to the second socket.
Cool. I'll give those a shot when I've finished cutting my current project.
I saw on the first page that Clover has a full profile for the 2006 Mac Pro, might try that one first.
The SSDT file for Clover and the Mac Pro works great. It enables the onboard SATA ports if you have anything connected to them like a bluray drive.
If you need help with Clover message me. I used it on my Mac Pro and use it now on both of my Hackintoshes.
Thanks for that. But does the antennae need to be connected in order for the system to recognize the chip? No need for the power cable?
I suppose the system might recognise the new hardware without the antenna connections, but I doubt it would work properly. The power cable is not needed. That's probably for other computer models.
yes see that my point. it sees the wifi card, but no bluetooth is installed at all. just says nothing connected. and osxwifi haven't responded.
Did you order the BCM94360CD module? OSXWiFi check their modules before shipping them to their customers, so it is unlikely they are defective. Unless it was damaged in transport, the only real possibilities for failure would be for you to have ordered/received the wrong module or for you to have wrongfully installed said module. Is it properly attached to its socket in the mother board?
Yes the 94360. They knew it was for the 2006 1,1 model.
And yes installed correctly - otherwise it wouldn't recognize the wifi board I suspect. Hence wondered if it was something I was doing wrong. Rebooted several times and no luck. Tried using power cable too (ordered a card for bro in law for the 2010 model which came with usb cable and the same 94360 card) and still no luck.
As I said, I emailed osxwifi but no reply. So will have to seek a refund on my credit card. Was hoping it was something I was doing wrong but I guess not.
I take it you are checking the board in Yosemite. If you were to check with something like Snow Leopard or Lion (and possibly Mountain Lion as well), the Bluetooth part would never be recognised, since there are no kexts for the new hardware.
