mac pro (2010)

Hello everyone. A few months ago I bought a mac pro from mid 2012, so I started to make hardware upgrades and left the change of graphics card for the end as it was the hardest thing to get (I'm looking for a Rx 580), I am very frustrated about this because, as I have read and seen, only the...

Hi Here's my dilemma, I have a large number of CDs and I wanted to rip those CDs and store the MP3 files on a classic iPod. I have a 2009 Imac, but due to space it has become a bit of pain to keep set up. I was thinking of buying something like a mid 2010 Mac Pro and using an existing monitor...

Hi, one of my main uses for my Mac Pro is preparing radio shows, which involves voice announcing between tracks. I've noticed that I occasionally have a defect in my voice recordings: when I play it back I'll sometimes find a place in the recording where a fragment of sound repeats and replaces...

Has anyone ever tried to upgrade CPUs on a 2010-2012 5,1 Mac Pro using delidded CPUs? Reasons could be either thermal performance, recycling a pair of CPUs coming from an older 4,1 Mac Pro (the dual cpu tray needed delidded CPUs), or just for science! I tried this experiment, upgrading a 2010...

Hey all, Ok so, the quick summary is that for almost a decade I have been using a mid-2010 Mac Pro 2.8Ghz Quad Core tower, with three 1TB Hard Drives and 16GB Ram. It's running an older OS, I think it's El Cap. Anyway, it decided to die on me recently. It would sporadically turn itself off...

Some time ago I bought the rx 5500xt for my Mac Pro so, can game on windows, but I still keep the hd 5870 for the boot screen. I would like to know if I upgrade to MacOS catalina so I can have rx 5500xt support, if the hd although not having drivers would still display the bootscreen?
