Hi I was never a Mac person until I saved up for a 2015 rMBP 13" with 16GB RAM 512 GB SSD and 2.9GHz i5 upgrades. I am a developer, author and digital artist and some of the tasks really pushed that machine. But was was impressed by the quality trackpad (pure joy), solid display, great...

Hey guys, As above I have a 2010 Mac Pro with an upgraded W3690 3.46 hex. What temps are you reading? At the moment we are having a heat wave in the UK and it hit 34 deg C today. The Mac Pro at idle is running in the 52 deg C range and with photosnalysisd running in the background its hitting...

My Mid 2010 Mac pro started giving problems, it restarts automatically and I get this error. Does this mean my CPU processor is bad? Or is it the GPU? Thanks Anonymous UUID: 7AB2C231-0E27-C3E7-E2D4-D8EDDB460112 Tue Jun 13 13:58:33 2017 *** Panic Report *** Machine-check capabilities...

In researching the new Macbook Pro models, I wanted to find some benchmark information related to the dual-core processors used in the 13-inch models and the quad-core processors used in the 15-inch models, specifically those listed below, but have found it surprisingly difficult to get any...

I have a 5,1 which currently has the x5650 stock configuration. This machine is my general desktop, plex server, what little photo editing I do, as well as, some Xcode work. I do not use photoshop (not that creative), but will be doing some iMovie. I have an SSD boot, a R9-280X video card, and a...

Hello, I have a problem. I've got a B&W G3 and I've heard it's possible to swap the CPU with PM G4 Yikes!. So, few weeks later I've purchased the latter one, swapped CPUs, powered my B&W on and... does't work, I get 5 beeps and that's all. I've made some research and as far as I know I need to...

Is there really that much of a difference between battery life on the MacBook Pro vs MacBook Pro with touch bar. I also want to get the i7 processor on the non-touchbar to boost performance. Will I see a notable battery difference between the touch bar and non touch bar models.

Hello, I would like to upgrade the CPU of my Beige 266MHz G3, but I need some info about how to do it. I have a spare 300MHz CPU taken out of B&W G3 (although I don't have any clue if it actually works) and I'd like to install it in my Beige G3. I've recently made some research and I've read...

Does anyone have the upgraded 2.4Ghz ntb w/ 16GB of RAM? I am curious about your battery life and your experience with Xcode and Web development or playing Civ5/6. It's very specific, I realize, but there is little information online about this configuration. I currently have the 13in tbMBP and...

Hi guys, need your advice: I can't any longer wait for test results and am about to order a 15" 16GB 512GB 460 The only thing I am still undecided: which CPU? I read that the 2,6 has 6MB L3 cache and the others 8MB. Do you expect this to have a significant impact on the performance? And if so...

Hey. I am considering which option would be reasonable between i5 2.9 and i5 3.1, for new macbook pro 2016 13inches. Ugrading to i5 3.1 costs 100 dollars. Is it worth and does it have big performance differences compare to i5 2.9. Please tell me your expertic opinions. By the way, Ram is...

Hey everyone! I'm really excited by the new Macbook Pros as I have been waiting for over an year to come them out. I currently use an old Macbook Pro 17" Early 2009 with a 1TB SSD that I installed later. I absolutely need a new machine since the work I do is pretty intensive from music...

I have updated to Sierra, since then my fan won't stop running unless the computer is shut off. I have checked my activity monitor and it is showing that Asterisk (which I don't even remember ever installing, nor do I think I use, nor can I find the files for) seems to be using 90+% of my CPU...

If we want the KabyLake installed on the new rMBR, then we have to wait until the Q1 of 2017? If Apple releases the new rMBR this Oct. or Nov. we will have a non-up-to-date CPU, right? :(

MacBookPro 2009 model 8GB Ram fans have been cleaned and activity monitor looks alright (sometimes a peak, but not for long)- but still heat is by times (very) high what could be the problem?

Just curious why my iPhone 7 scores 2556 single score and 3437 multicore. Geekbench 4.0.1 Are you guys getting similar scores? Seems like with this geekbech build its nowhere near the results that were published the first time.
