I bought a new camera and my old Mac Pro 4,1>5,1 can't access the raw files. I had a few options but decided that the simplest solution was to install Windows on a separate SATA SSD. I did that this afternoon, installed apps that I needed Windows for and it works well. I never worked with...

Hello everyone, I've been running a very stable setup for years. My 4,1-5,1 Mac Pro has a MacVidCards Vega 64, 64GB of ECC RAM in triple channel and boots to opencore on nvme. There I sometimes choose to boot to Windows 10 on SATA. The nvme has Mojave. Everything was working fine for a long...

I recently bought an early 2009 mac pro 4,1 and I am wondering what is the best CPU and GPU for; blender, photoshop, Minecraft, and final cut pro. the best value CPUs/GPUs for this build

Hi Everyone, So i've been having an issue with my Mac pro for over a year now. I've tried a few different things to fix it and still can't seem to find out whats wrong. I'll be working and suddenly the screen starts to glitch with lots of random pixels (please see attached images). Then all I...

So I bought a 2009 Mac pro and I'm trying to get it to 5,1, but when I try to go into recovery to disable sip halfway through loading into recovery the screen goes blank and never comes back up. I have the original get 120 that came with it so I don't see why it's doing this. Also it has Sierra...

Hello everyone! I was doing an upgrade on my 2009 Mac Pro upgraded to 5,1 and noticed the North Bridge was wiggly, so I used some screws, sprints and nuts to re-secure it into place after getting rid of the regular Apple Northbridge holders. However, upon installing the new CPUs and booting -...

get Northbridge temp down to 120 F ( 49c ) direct the airflow over the Northbridge Heatsink

Hi there! It turns out keeping a 2009 Mac Pro running can be a lot of busy work (as 25 pages of people who can't read instructions will attest)- especially since I have a Geforce 1080 and modern NVIDIA cards are no-go in Mojave until further notice. So I figured it'd be a good time to get the...

Hey guys, just wanted to get a post going with some benchmarks and stats for this *updated* build that many of you are probably running now. Here's mine: Mac Pro 2009 4,1 > 5,1 XEON x5680 x2 FW: 140.0.0.0 Mojave on OCZ Vertex4 SSD 256GB Win10 on WD Black NVMe 500GB [Lycom DT-120] Ubuntu...

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...

Just did a 4,1 to 5,1 upgrade on my 2009 Mac Pro running 10.11.6 El Capitan. All is well EXCEPT that RAM slot 1 isn't recognized. Before: 2009 Mac Pro 4,1 2 x 2.26GHz quad-core After: 2009 Mac Pro 5,1 2 x 3.33GHx (x5680) hex-core Firmware update went fine. Both CPUs are recognized in...

A couple years ago my 2009 mac pro was flashed from 4,1 to 5,1 and I upgraded to a 12 core 2.66GHz. As time has gone by I've slowly needed more power updating the GPU and then yesterday upgraded to a 12 core 3.46GHz. But after that upgrade the computer won't boot. The fans spin and the front...

Can i put my 660ti in a mac pro 2009 with no complacations ? or do i need to run hackintosh if i want to switch that part?

Based on my previous topic (https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/cmacpro-for-video-editing-fcpx-or-premiere-no-matter.2032173/) I want to share my other doubts with you, my friends. As I calculated my upgrade from Mac Pro 3.1 2008 (1 x 4-core Xeon 2.6Ghz, 6GB RAM, NV GTX 285 1GB) to Mac Pro...

My mid-2011 Mac Mini server's hard disks suddenly broke due to old age so for now, I had to simply clone the whole OS disk to my new computer so I wouldn't have to panic that much. I got a refurbished Mac Pro with a 2009 motherboard, 2 x 2.4 GHz 6-core Intel Xeon, 16GB RAM and AMD Radeon HD 7950...

Ok so I just had a weird problem with my Mac Pro 2009 that I spent 6hrs trying to fix, but am still confused. What happened was that I wanted to feed a SATA data cable up under the PSU and into the DVD drive cavity (which I have empty) as I'm putting a SSD drive up there and connecting to the...

So, sadly, after 7 faithful years as my primary workhorse, the best, most reliable Mac I have ever owned, my Mac Pro 4,1 has died. Looks to be a CPU failure, or maybe the motherboard gave out. I was hoping it would last long enough that I could get a second gen nMP and then figure out solutions...
