Hi, I tried to understand the state of things as far as FileVault (aka APFS-Encrypted) on cMP units is concerned. Read some threads here and on MacVidCards' blog, and still confused. I have a MP4,1 updated to 5,1 with a vanilla RX580 and 10.13.6. Considering whether to update to Mojave or...

A friend gave me his unused GTX 1080. I'd like to get it working in my cMP. It seems that Nvidia drivers work up only to 10.13 (I'm on 10.14 at the moment). I'm using this to run Folding@Home applications for COVID19 research. AMD cards (like the RX580 I have) aren't optimized to run...

I upgraded to a metal-compatible GPU (Radeon RX 580 Pulse) primarily because Mojave requires it and the clock is ticking on High Sierra. Now I'm trying to figure out whether or not to utilize metal or OpenCL for Photoshop, Camera Raw and photo stacking. I found comments on online forums saying...

Just bought another cMP 5,1 Server (Mid 2012) Quad-Core (single CPU). When I first plugged the power cable in it started automatically before I even hit the power button. All good, so I upgraded the firmware from the original 7F to 89, then popped a RX 580 in and upgraded to 144.0.0.0.0, but...

Hey folks, I'm wondering if someone can help me. I've been struggling for a few days with a grey boot screen when booting my 5.1 (4.1) Mac Pro. I installed Windows in what I thought was legacy mode using VMWare Fusion on macOS using the .vmdk method. Afterwards I could boot into Windows 10...

s anyone know clockgenerator (pll) chip/chips of cMP? It should be on cpu tray. I can't access my 4,1 right now but hi-res photos is ok for investigating. I'm looking for further software overclocking possibilities. Also, looking for ram overclocking possibilities and tightening timing options...

does anyone know what happens? high Sierra Mojave and reference w10

I just bought another cMP 4,1 8-Core (2.26GHz) - Apple 5870 1GB GPU - 22GB - original BT card on an auction site - a steal! It was delivered by a courier company, and my excitement all evaporated as soon as I took the packaging off. F#$kers! Damn!! Bloody criminals. The couriers are...

Everyone knows our dusty machines vrm cooling section attached to cooling blocks. When we upgrade 2009 cMP's with 130W lidded CPUs, cooler height increase nearly ~2.2mm. After all, thermal pads should be used 4.5 or 5mm to avoid future overheat problems. Vrms forced extra and cooling solution...

Hay in the UK & we have a small heat wave, iv seen my PSU sensor 2 hit 67c+ at default settings. After that iv set the PSU fan to keep the PSU sensor 2 under 50c but at 1400-2000RPM it’s a real pain. 2000RPM and still 49c on PSU sensor 2 ! So is it safe to let it get that hot? Anything I can do...

Charming. Was having a look at Apple's site - just dreaming about the future. And what caught my eye was that I could trade-up a Mac for up to NZ$1400 off. Wow! Must check out what my cMP 4,1 > 5,1 (see my sig for my specs) might get me. And immediately had that sinking feeling. Apple will...

The Pulse RX 580 is a supported GPU, and the Pulse RX 590 also probably works in cMP from other reports of success that the Nitro RX 590 works. So is it safe to go ahead and get the Pulse RX 590 and that future macOS support will follow if Apple continues to support the RX 580, or are there...

I've read several reports of people having their PSUs dying, so I was wondering, since those Mac Pros are at least 10 years old, if it's finally time to get our hands dirty by opening the PSU, warming our soldering irons and give the thing some love with new shiny capacitors. Recapping is a...

Im having an issue with my new Mac Pro 2010 I purchased. I transferred all my components from my 2008 Mac Pro (SSDs, HDDs, Disk Drive (2nd Bay), Video card, etc. I upgraded the processors to 2 x 3.46 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeons. Upgraded the OS to High Sierra and everything seems to be perfect. Im...

Hi, has anyone installed Ubuntu or any other Linux distro on an NVME drive on a 4,1/5,1? I currently have Ubuntu 18.04 running on a cheap san disk ssd. I wouldn't mind Mojave and Ubuntu on an NVME. As I am running Windows on on compatibility mode, I assume that would have to stay within one...

Here's a head scratcher .... can't figure this one out. Mac Pro 5,1, Mojave 14.4, Sapphire RX580 video card. Video displays fine when using AOC monitors with DVI input. I use DVI to HDMI adapters to plug both monitors into the video card HDMI inputs. Looks great. However when trying to use a...

cMP 5,1 (flashed) running High Sierra with recently installed BT/wifi upgrade PCIe card (Broadcom) w/external antenna. The old (factory) BT card, which had quit, has been removed and replaced by USB dongle. After installing the new card around a month ago, all devices, including Apple keyboard...

Hi, a friend of mine tried to upgrade his dual CPU 2010 cMP and it turns out like it failed. The guy won't start the the 2 CPUs attached. He took it to my place and I first tough it could be some bended pins on the CPU socket but CPU B looks nice and that's exactly when we attach the second...

Hi, I wanted bootable NVMe and Nvidia support, and I knew the 387.10.10.10.40.122 drivers worked OK on 10.13.6 so didn't think anything of applying the prerequisite Mojave firmware 140.0.0.0... then when I tried to install the drivers (using the nvidia-update script on github) it said that there...
