cpu

Lately, I've been trying to create a bootable USB drive with Windows installed on it that I can plug into and boot on my MacBook Pro. I followed this tutorial to the word, right up the part where he modifies the boot security settings to permit booting from external sources. My Mac is old enough...

Hi there, I currently have a 5,1 2010 Mac Pro of the 12 core 2.93 GHz variant, however I was wondering if there was much of a performance boost to upgrading the CPUs to the last release 3.46GHz? I have found it hard to find a direct comparison between the two and was wondering if anyone had any...

Eu tenho um Mac Pro 2006 e recentemente tive dois problemas (e ainda tenho). a primeira é: apenas um processador funciona, enquanto o outro, a partir do sinal da vida, mas o sistema não o reconhece. A segunda é: recentemente coloquei o windows 10 nele, estava usando o mac os yosemite by Patch...

Hey i got a question. I have a widget installed named "fanny". that tells me the current cpu temperature. But also at the same time i have terminal running sudo powermetrics -s smc | grep -i „CPU die temperature“. Comparing now both temperatures there are off all the time. sometimes off by 10...

The system boots fine but right when it starts up the cpu fans rev up all the way to full. When I check fan control it shows that cpu b heatsink is running extremely hot. Also, the top ram riser isn't recognized for some reason. Could this be a logic board issue?

After 11.2 Big Sur update, I decided to make a little comparison between Safari and Chrome's CPU usage on YouTube. My Chrome version is M1 optimized 88.0.4324.96. My device is 8 256 MP Pro. I opened same 8k 60fps video on both browsers. I did same comparison plugged and unplugged, seemed nothing...

Hi y'all. Need some help! I am planning on purchasing the iMac pro 2020. I do 4k music video editing usually with heavy effects. The 2020 iMac pro starts with a 10 core processor. I can't decide if I should upgrade to the 14 core? OR if I should upgrade my graphics card from the radeon pro 56...

Hi everyone, I hope this finds you well. I’m having some issues with my 4,1 early 2009 cMP. The issues came after I seemingly successfully flashed it to a 5,1 with the previously working configuration and shut it down to install new ram and CPUs. Previously working configuration: El Capitan...

I got it all installed Mojave boots up, (used dosdude patcher) works good even logged on then all of a sudden crashes, I get the 3 beeping sounds and computer is frozen. Have to reset to get it to stop and then it does it all over again, tried PRAM and still doesn’t work. This model has the ATI...

Hi all! For about a month now,on my 24" mid 2007 iMac, the CPU fan is working in full, constantly, and wow, it's loud, unbearably loud..! I've looked in forums, in apple, everywhere and can't find a solution. (see photo for data) Most common reason is due to a replacement of the HDD. I...

Hey everyone! I would like to upgrade the CPU in my Mac Pro 4,1 - xeon w3520 to x5690. I now read that a delidding might be necessary. Mainly about be dual CPU models, but also about the single CPU models, such as mine. Now I wanted to ask if it really is necessary or recommended (in this...

Just looking to put some numbers as to what people are going to choose now - not a year out. Feel free to leave comments

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...

I have a G-Suite account that I have an email domain for my business through. I've been using this since 2009 and have had no issues until about 9 months ago when I noticed my mail downloading 200,000+ emails. It does this so much now that my ISP (Xfinity) has told me that I've reached my...

Ran Cinebench and Fanny is reporting 127º C on the CPU die (i5-10500), which is insane. Oddly enough, Intel Power Gadget shows temperatures immediately increasing to 100.0º C and then just capping off there, which is almost suspicious. Any thoughts on what's with the 127º C?

Hi everyone, Picked up a new 2019 16” MBP base model w/ 512GB storage. Installed windows using bootcamp and then noticed an intermittent electronic scratching sound. With no apps running, I opened up the task manager and monitored CPU speed and saw that every couple of minutes the cpu speed...

I'm trying to replace the CPU on my iMac, but it's stuck! Is it possibly soldered on? If that's the case, I'm pretty much out of options aren't I? I was told to try using a hair dryer to remove it. I don't have a hair dryer, but I do have a heat gun. Is a heat gun too hot to use? Thanks.

Hello everyone, I have an iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014) and I’ve been having a issue with the fans ramping up a lot louder within the past couple of months + some issues with the computer not preforming as well. I installed Fanny Fan widget and when under load (converting 1080p video)...

When would the 10th CPU be published with Macbook Pro 16 inch?~ Is it possible in the August this year?:)

Hey guys, I have a i9 octa-core 2.4ghz with 64GB ram, 5500M 8GB DDR6, 4TB config that is ~6 months old. Recently, I've been noticing a really weird behaviour after investigating why my 16" MBP is displaying graphical glitches after playing Civ6 via Steam for under 5 mins. Resolution in-game is...
