    G5 Quad boots but #7 RED LED turns on and then off briefly, then goes to sleep.

    So I have a G5 quad and it boots ok, then the fans start to get pretty loud (I don’t believe full speed but I would say faster than it should be, but then after a couple of minutes, it freezes up and goes to sleep (sometimes it just freezes on what ever screen your on). I checked the LCS and it...

    2019 MBP - High CPU temp

    So I recently bought the new base 2019 MBP and while I didn't buy it for games or the sort I do enjoy the occasional league of legends and such. When I tried LoL on the Mac it was super smooth with high fps but the cpu was a constant 90 degrees celsius with fans at 100%. Is this harmful to the...

    MP 1,1-5,1 What if... the community designed an updated CPU tray for cMP 5,1?

    OK, so this is a crazy, off the wall idea... but what if it was possible to design and implement a replacement PCB that would fit the standard CPU tray and heat sink of a classic Mac Pro 5,1? If you don't mind me summarizing 557 pages and over a million page views from the "Waiting for Mac Pro...

    MP 1,1-5,1 Questions regarding upgrading CPU/RAM/FIRMWARE

    I have an early 2009 8 core Mac Pro 4.1 (details attached) and I'm looking to make it quicker.

    Universal What apps benefit from Apple's Neural engine?

    Sorry for the vague question, but what benefits can we actually see by having an iOS device with Apple's A-series chips (A11, A12, upcoming A13) which have the neural engine? I'm still on an A9 iPhone, so I don't yet have neural engines in my CPU. What am I actually missing, and from which apps?

    Is there a way to disable specific CPU core?

    Hello, my iMac is crashing all the time and all the error reports point at CPU core #3. I would like to test disabling it. All the options I found only limit number of cores in use, but I haven't found an option to disable just a specific CPU core. Is there any way to do this? thanks!

The de lidding with the vice went really smoothly....the top seemed to slide over a bit at first and...
