I've been thinking about what Apple might do with the MMP. Despite what we all seem to want (a new cheese grater). Apple will never do that, they want to sell us the next generation. What if the MMP had: • 4 slots for NVME based drives (takes up less space than a single box SSD). • 4 PCI...

Hi, today I bought a Mac pro 4,1 8core 2.26, 20G RAM 1066, and I want to constantly upgrade it to a 5,1 12 core. I have some questions and hope some one can give me some advice: 1. I just bought it at 370$, is it a little bit over price or just right? 2. if I just upgrade the firmware to 5,1...

I just bought a Mac Pro 2010 12 core. The CPU tray looks like this: I was wondering if i could put it into my Mac Pro 2012 which is a 6 core. I am a video editor and i figured it would give me more RAM and make it run faster for editing. Am i able to do this? What problems would it cause?

What just happened? I was on a CNBC page using Safari watching a YouTube video. Safari was the only thing I had open. Only a single tab. Suddenly my brand new 2017 13" MBP (non-touch bar) started heating up. I get this message at the top of the page: "This webpage is using significant memory...

I have a late 2009 Imac lying around gathering dust ... I had decided to upgrade it, so I upgraded the ram to 16gb and put in a 512gb ssd- now I want to go further. I know that it has a core 2 duo, but would I be able to put in an i7? And if not, what it the best processor I could put in? I know...

Hi guys, my late 2011 MBP is really slow now. It hardly starts up and I can barely get into activity monitor where it shows the system using 97%CPU. I reset PRAM, I tried diagnostics but they didn’t work, I restarted the computer of course. Not sure what else I can do to fix this issue. It’s...

In comparison how do both of these CPU’s perform? They are the chips in an iMac Pro. CPU 1: Intel Xeon W 3.2GHz (8 core) Turbo Boost 4.2GHz CPU 2: Intel Xeon W 3GHz (10 core) Turbo Boost 4.5GHz My understanding of Intels Turbo Boost technology is as follows, please correct me along the way if...

Hello, I have a MacBook Pro 2017 15-inch with Touch Bar with 2.9GHz i7 and Radeon Pro 560. The CPU speed is reported as 2.9GHz base and runs at that under macOS but when in Boot Camp Windows 10 Pro it is reported at 2.8GHz and runs at 2.8GHz constantly, no matter the power settings...

Hi, I recently received an iMac early 2009 model with Intel Core 2 Duo (2.66 GHz), 4 GB RAM and 320 GB HDD. It's currently running Mountain Lion. So far, what I've only done is: - delete the previous user account file, create a new admin account ; - downloaded (but not installed) El Capitan...

Hi, I just got my iMac (mid 2010) fixed, the graphics Card was broken, there were vertical lines on the screen. It happened while I was playing a game (a game that uses a lot of the iMac's processing power). I still want to play games but I don't want to break the computer again. So I have a...

Hi Everyone talks about Meltdown and Spectre: "All Macs, iPhone and iPads affected" http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-42575033 All Macs? No, not all. The good old MacPro 1/2,1 with Intel Xeon 5100 ("Woodcrest“) or 5300 („Clovertown“) are not on Intels list...

hi i have noticed an excessive cpu consume of activity monitor the process "activity monitor" uses always at least 10% or 15% of my cpu , when my imac is idle sometime jump to 40% of my cpu outside activity monitor , all the processes are around 0.4% or 0.9% of cpu only i set refresh every 5...

Hi guys! I'm thinking about buying an old MacPro 4,1 and upgrading the cpu afterwards. I looked on eBay for the x5690 and saw many cheap ones with shipping from china. Are they probably fake models or could they be a good deal because of their age? Here're some examples and my search (all...

So as has been well established on several threads here and elsewhere, the 2017 27" iMac with the Intel Core i7-7700k experiences extreme temperature spikes, and can have sustained CPU temperatures of 95 - 100 C when under heavy CPU load. I have one of these iMacs. I don't care in the slightest...

Although most of Apple's Macs come with highly efficient cooling designs, there are times when intensive processing tasks such as video rendering and audio design put an enormous strain on the CPU. If you need to stay on top of the situation and to keep a close eye on your Mac processor's...

Some evidence is surfacing that iOS11 working on some devices fine, yet bricking/locking up on others MAY be related to the type of processor used in the handset. For example, iphone 6s can have either N71AP or N71MAP processor. The iphone6s handsets with N71AP SOC appear to be the ones having...

Hey I'm interested in upgrading the CPU in one of my iMacs (27" Late 2012) from i5-3470S to i7-3770. I'm getting the i7-3770 secondhand for $100 and will sell the current i5-3470S for about $50, so total upgrade cost is about $50 (well, $60 if you take the screen adhesive kit into...

Help! I don't know if anyone is still reading this thread. This is what happened to me and what I have done so far. iMac 2013 27" 3.5GHz Nvidia GT780M 4GB (This may or may not be important) So the hinge failed on this machine and, knowing my way around the iMac and other machines, I decided to...

Hey everyone, Does anyone know which fans are based on which sensors? Also, which sensor should the CPU fan be based on for optimum CPU cooling? Diode, heatsink, or core PCECI? Ive always set it to read from the diode but not sure if that is best. My system runs pretty hot and runs dangerously...

The nTB 15w 2.3 with boost to 3.6 (I5-7360U) is faster than the TB 28w i5 with 3.1 with boost to 3.5 (I5-7267U) Really? Sounds good to me as I have zero interest in that touch bar, but a little hard to believe. I tend to trust them for the most part though. They seem to be pretty accurate...
