A few days ago I took my early-2009 24" c2duo iMac to the Office to get him connected to the office-network. It's got Win10Pro installed and at home, everything worked fine. In the office fans started to run on booting and continued to run nonstop at full speed, so I powered the iMac down and...

I have a 2009 Mac Pro which I successfully (with the help of this forum) upgraded to 5,1 to Mojave running a RX580. Got it to run and work off of my NVME. Everything at this point works, the screen works. I then upgraded the CPU to dual X5680 3.33 ghz, which I purchased used off of Ebay that...

Hello, I just got a 2009 cMP 4.1 single CPU with 5.1 firmware flash. I wanted to install a PCIe SSD (AXAGON PCIE-NVME M.2 PCEM2-NC + Samsung 970 EVO). When I pressed the power button, the vents and DVD drive started as usual, but after one or two seconds I could smell a bit of smoke. No boot...

Hi, Does anyone know if a 4,1 (2009) case is exactly the same as a 5,1 (2010 - 2012) so components from a 4,1 model will fit into a 5,1 or vice versa? Cheers, Chris

Hi y’all My Mac Pro 4.1 dual CPU was a swap for my XBox One S. It was purchased direct from Apple UK by my friend who did the swap. He has had it in his photography studio, and it has done light work over it’s life. Anyways; first thing I had to do was put a boot disk in it and re-install...

Hi everyone, I received a 27" late 2009 iMac from a friend who said it wouldn't start. Upon taking it apart and investigating, I found that several internal cables were broken and the video card was loose. After replacing these cables and reseating the video card (also had to add RAM) I tried to...

Hi, What is the fastest and well performing usb 3.0 card that I can buy for Mac Pro early 2009 running Mojave. I have heard from somewhere that with some cards it splits speed somehow when transferring from a USB 3.0 hard drive. Because of having limited ports, which I don’t want. So what...

Hi All, I've got a pretty heavily modified Mac Pro 2009 (flashed to 5,1) with upgraded processors, RAM, video card, USB 3, SSD, the whole 9 yards. Since upgrading, I’ve been getting near constant kernel panics. It used to be when I was in Photoshop, Lightroom, Illustrator, things like that...

Hey everyone, first post here. I recently acquired a 2009 Mac Pro (4,1 flashed to 5,1) successfully updated to High Sierra. I had an ASUS Dual OC RX 480 lying around and am having some trouble getting it running properly. As far as I've researched, High Sierra is supposed to have built-in...

Hey everyone, I just picked up a BCM943602CS Wireless card (PCI-e) for my 2009 Mac Pro that I updated to a 5.1. The card is advertised as Mac compatible and many people use it in the Hackintosh builds, but for some reason I can not get my Mac to recognize it. My OS is Mojave. Has anyone had any...

Hello everyone, Yesterday I installed an ADATA SX8200 M.2 drive via a PCIe adapter in my 2009 Mac Pro (flashed to 5,1) and have found the read/write speeds to be less than stellar. For a drive that is supposed to get speeds of 3200 MB/s read and 1700MB/s write, I am getting lackluster speeds...
