mac pro 5.1

Hi, had a good search but cannot find anyone that has had this issue. I have upgraded multiple Mac Pro 5.1 (some 2012 and some 2010) to Mojave, as well as adding X5680 CPUs and 128GB of memory, all have gone OK until this one. After the CPUs and Memory were upgraded (fans were normal before)...

I bought a 2010 Mac Pro to replace my dying 2006 Mac Pro. However, I've never considered using a drive exclusively as the boot drive, and all the other drives as storage. Since I already have many TBs of HDD storage, and my new Mac includes a SSD, it's a no-brainer. But how do I do it?

I have a flashed to 5,1 '09 Mac Pro that had been happily running all OSs up to Yosemite and then Sierra on an OWC SSD, for maybe 4 years. A little while ago I re-flashed with a newer version that was said (on a forum devoted to the flashing process) to be necessary for High Sierra, and Sierra...

I replaced my mac's gtx 680 with rx 580, and installation went well. Before installing I cleaned all the fans with compressed air and when this ran out, I used a toothbrush to move dust and eventually carefully vacuumed it or took it out by paper. It might have been slightly moist, but I don't...

I'm looking to upgrade my 2010 Mac Pro with dual Xeon 5680s and came across a matched pair on eBay. I asked the seller if they had b1 stepping he looked on the bois and found this 06-2c-2 he only had a server to test so couldn't download CPU-Z or other apps to check. Is there another way of...

I’ll try to explain my situation as the detailed as possible. I have a 2009 4,1 Mac Pro I bought from someone about a month ago. Since purchasing it, I’ve flashed the firmware to 5,1 and began doing hardware upgrades. So far I’ve installed the X5690 Xeon (it’s a single CPU tray version), added...

Hi, I'm wondering about the best way to quickly use SSD's on a Mac Pro 5,1 via a USB3 PCIe card I installed on it. I'm streaming samples / using virtual instruments for making music from these drives if that's useful to know - would I have issues with either of the two options below...

[Mac Pro 5,1, 10.12.6] For months now, my audio interface (Apogee Duet 2, USB-powered) seemingly randomly cuts out, causing my speakers to pop loudly, then power cycles indefinitely. These drop-outs are not obviously tied to any activity on my Mac--it could happen when I'm checking email on...

hello you all, i've fixed the ancien start problem on my mac pro 5.1, but when i checked the components, i've found the speed of my ahci sm951 has droped to half, it was +1400mb/s read and write, but now only have +700mb/s, did not change anything in the macpro, it's so wired, anyone knows this...

Hi all So first post... I've a Mac Pro 2012 5.1 that works perfectly when running Sierra with the Nvidia web and CUDA drivers. Thought I'd try to upgrade to High Sierra 10.13.6 (17G65) from the latest build of Sierra, not sure build though sorry, although let's just say that the driver and card...

Hello everybody! I want to buy a video card Sapphire Radeon HD 7970 6GB Vapor-X for Mac Pro 5.1. Can I flash this card? Please share if you already have it ready. Thank you!

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...

Hey ! I have been busy trying to make everything work performance wise (WIN 8.1 on Mac Pro 5.1) Right now I am in the proces of checking that the GPU (Gigabyte GTX 970 G1) is running optimally. For that purpose PassMark software has been used... If you look at this chart (PassMark - G3D...

Bought one of these and decided to go a different route. Was used for maybe 4 hours. I’m willing to sell it to someone at a discount from what I paid from them. It cost me $448 including fees and shipping. I will sell it for $375 message if your interested otherwise I’ll be listing it on eBay.

I picked up a new graphics card, a sapphire Rx 560, I have a Mac Pro 3,1 so doing plenty of research thinking it would work be cause I had a hacked version of high Sierra running on it. It failed to run and the suspect is the ancient system bus they have in the Mac Pro 3,1. I haven’t heard...

Hoping to get some help with a huge problem we are currently having. We have a 4,1 Mac Pro that we have been running since 2010 as our photo editing workhorse. It has numerous upgrades from OWC, including a 120gig OWC SSD being used as its startup disk. It was happily chugging along with...

Hi, I've got a Mac Pro 5,1 (mid 2010) and I've put an Nvidia GTX 770 in it and I'm trying to get it to work in Windows 8.1. I got into the installation yesterday by booting off of the W8.1 DVD with the 770, but I had to exit it because I had multiple drives plugged in and it wouldn't let me...

Hello, I am working mainly on my macbook Pro, but since I was in need of using bootcamp, I am in need of my old Mac Pro 5.1 (3.3mhz hexacore), with my old radeon 5770 GPU. However, I cannot use my 4K screen with it and I need a boot of power. I went through this forum and the GTX 980 interested...
