My cMP 5,1 (flashed 4,1) running High Sierra does not fully shut down. The screen darkens but the cursor stays on. When the screen darkens, cursor jumps to upper left corner and remains live. If left alone, it seems system or monitor will sleep and awaken when mouse is moved. Just started...

Dear Friends, help me to choose CPU to upgrade my 1CPU cMP 3.1. As I understand it is not worth using 3.2 GHz CPU because of TDP 150w vs 3.0 TPD 80-120 (E or X version). So, I have question: which CPU I can use with Mac Pro 3.1 2008: 1) X5472 or E 5472 2) SLASA or SLANR? (As I remember from...

Hello, folks! Need your help. cMP 2009 -> 2010. Clean install of Win10, separate SSD. There is no sound: 1) sound drivers are installed (windows defaults); 2) sound volume can be changed; 3) no sound - neither in speakers, no in headphones; 4) there is no unknown devices in system profiles; 5)...

Hey folks, the rear exhaust fan of my cMP 4,1 started to rattle and make noises. Therefore I'd like to replace it. I found some used cMP fans on ebay and was wondering if I can use a 3,1 exhaust fan as well? Are they interchangeable? The design looks very similar. Thanks.

What can be wrong on a 4.1 tray? It's only on the CPU B side. It's not the CPU, swapped several times. It's not the memory, swapped as well. With another tray everything is fine. I know this tray has been sitting in a computer who ran hot, it killed the CPU B, replaced it, but something else is...

I recently installed a Sapphire Pulse RX580 8GB card into my 4/5,1, with 32GB RAM and X5680. Boots from Apple SSD SM256E/PCIe; SATA SanDisk Ultra II 480 as working drive. Based on a few comments here and there, this should be the final piece to enable 4K FCPX. I wanted to compare this to my...

Hello, Long time lurker, first time poster... After my 2012 MBP bit the dust last year I've been using workarounds on a 2016 MBP as my main work machine. I've been using Adobe CS6 and am happy with it for print production work - I really don't need anything newer or fancier. However... you...

I am thinking about replacing the Nvidia 640 (flashed) I bought from maccvid, as I am losing faith that the Apple vs Nvidia Cuda update will be resolved that soon - and I looked at the AMD MSI 560 - but I heard conflicting reports on its height - double height, more than double height... I have...

I’m considering a Mac Mini 3.2ghz 6 core as my main After Effects Mac and using my cMP as a render farm. I’m thinking of speccing the Mini with a 512gb SSD and using it as a boot/system drive and After Effects cache. I’m then thinking of attaching the Mini to the cMP via Ethernet and...

I've made no secret of my opinion about the (over)pricing on the new Mac mini in other threads, and my own (personal + consulting company) tally of Mac Pros is now up to 6 :D (1 x 2006, 1 x 2007, 1 x 2008, 2 x 2009 (4,1>5,1), 1 x 2010)...so clearly my thought process is always leaning toward the...

I was able to get my classic Mac Pro to drive the LG Ultrafine 5K at full 5K resolution retina mode enabled. I used an Gigabyte Alpine Ridge Thunderbolt 3 card inside my Mac Pro. 2 DP cables go from my Nvidia GTX 1080Ti to the Alpine Ridge then the Thunderbolt 3 cable goes from the Alpine Ridge...

My Config: cMP 4,1 -> 5,1 equipped with Samsung 970 pro on Kryo m.2 Adapter on Slot 4. Nothing unusal, runs also with injected 138.0.0.0 fine, but I saw a lot of benchmarks with speeds over 2GB/s, mine is quite slower, see here: I also don't see any misconfiguration: Anyone an...

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

I thought I'd include this quote because it describes my situation perfectly. I have had a single processor 2009 cMP for over a year now, and saw a great deal on a dual tray 2009 and picked it up as well. Other than cosmetics and the tray, what would be the best way to determine which...

Hi. I own a Mac Pro 5.1 and use it with a 2GB HIS Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition IceQ Turbo graphics card. At the moment i have a 28" 1920x1200 monitor. Now i would like to get a new one. I have two in mind - AOC Q3279VWF with 32" and 2560x1440 - Samsung U28E590D with 28" and 3840x2160 Which one...

Hi, I am currently upgrading my Mac Pro to a very high performance regarding CPU, RAM, GPU, SSD etc. on a budget of ~2000$ in total so far. So far my Setup: Mac Pro 4.1 flashed to 5.1 Running macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 2 x 3,46 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon 64 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 Nvidia GeForce GTX Titan...

I have a 2009 MacPro 4,1 which I flashed to 5,1 a few years back so I could upgrade to a W3690. GeekBench profile: https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/6372223 I'm tossing up between building a hackintosh given how far they have come these days or if possible, upgrade to a dual CPU tray. if I...

Hey folks, I bought a refurbished Mac Pro 4.1 flashed to 5.1 with 2 x 6 core @ 3,46 GHz, 48 GB Ram and a flashed R9 280X. I installed High Sierra and everything seems fine except some graphic glitches (see screenshots): - during the boot screen I get some artefacts - one program has a dark...

Hey folks, I'm having a real hard time to work with the internal bluetooth card. Its range is so limited, that my Magic Mouse lags, stutters and is not usable at all. The Mac stands right beneath my desk and is maybe 1,5m away from the Magic Mouse. I already did some experimantation with USB...
