Hi Everyone, So today has been an absolute nightmare, was upgrading a 6,1 to a 12 core d700 (4th time) and I'm guessing I fried the CPU riser in the process? I swapped out just about every other part (With the exception of the GPU and PSU) from a functioning 6,1 d300 to test what was and wasn't...

Hello all, this is my first time on the forums. I recently picked up an older 2013 Mac Pro for super cheap at a local surplus store and brought it home to find no CPU or memory. I got a 10 core processor for $85 on ebay (E5-2690 V2) and 32gb of memory. When I installed them and powered on the...

I am currently using two Apple Thunderbolt Displays for my Mac Pro 6,1. I am pretty happy with the setup, but of course would like to add a 4K or 5K monitor. I will keep the two ATDs, but put a new third display in the middle, as my main monitor. I am a photographer and my main apps are...

I am looking into upgrading my Mac Pro 6,1 from the original 1TB SSD to a Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2TB. I have read a lot of recommendations saying to use the EKWB heat sink with it. Many of the reviews for EKWB heat sink state that it’s very hard to get both clips on the Samsung 970 EVO. Does...

Is it worth to upgrade a Mac Pro 2013 with dual D500 GPUs from a 3.5GHz 6-Core to a 2.7GHz 12-Core? Already put an OWC Aura Pro X2 1TB NVMe SSD in it and updated the RAM to 64GB DDR3-1866. Runs cooler on maOS Catalina 10.15.1 (19B88) (noticed a difference)... Would I notice (or is there)...

Does anyone have experience running a OWC Envoy Pro EX High-Performance Bus-Powered SSD w/Thunderbolt 3 on a Mac Pro 6,1? Since TB2 can theoretically transfer data at 2500 MBps, is should be able to transfer close to it's (real) speed of 730MBps Write / 1000MBps Read. Anyone do a speed test of...

We bought a 1.0TB OWC Aura Pro X Complete SSD Upgrade Solution, and replaced our factory 256 GB factory installed ssd. Ever since, our 2013 Mac Pro has been glitchy... pinwheels, choppy cursor movement... poorer performance in general (as compared to before the upgrade). We are running Mojave...
