I am currently upgrading an early 2012 to 6 Core CPUs (washer stack method) and I have experienced some oddities: It does boot, but it shows a red diagnosis LED/ red lamp next to the front (when having the tray inserted) CPU. However, in system profiler it shows slots 1 and 2 as empty (which...

Hey, Sapphire just released a full version of the Polaris 11 chip. So, it has all 16 CU's, 1024 SP's, like the AMD Pro WX4100 and like the AMD Radeon Pro 460 in the new 2016 MBP, albeit, higher clocked. I wonder if this will OOB in a Mac Pro. Here's the link to the article...

Has anyone else seen that you when you click Buy Now on the Mac pro part of Apple.com it doesn't let you build it. Does this mean that they will be updating it, or discontinuing it? Just curious everyone's thoughts?

Hi all, I have Mac Pro Late 2013 D300, shipped with Mavericks 10.9.5 and works fine without any problem for 2 years (i'm buying it at early 2015). Two weeks ago, I update to El Capitan 10.11.5, the problem is it can not turn on after shutdown. Press power button, its dead, and only turn motion...

Hello! I've recently got a Mac Pro 4.1->5.1 3.33GHz Intel Xeon, 32 GB, 256GB SSD, 2TB HDD and GTX 680 GPU. I do a lot of Music Production so dual booting Windows and Mac is always helpful! I'm just wondering whether its advice on such systems? I've had a look already for previous forum post...

Hi everyone, I have a Mac Pro 1,1 (2006 model) that I've had for quite a while. I have been using it for about a year with a flashed "HIS" AMD Radeon 5770 with two Apple Cinema displays, one in each DVI port. The card has two DVI ports, a DisplayPort, and an HDMI port. I recently got a third...

Hi All, I have a Mac Pro (NB: *not* a laptop, one of the little black dustbins...) with three 4K monitors attached, all Dell P2415Q. Ever since upgrading to El Capitan, after OS X puts the displays to sleep: on waking, a selection of background windows (Chrome, iCal, etc) are moved so only...

Hi All, I plan to buy used Mac Pro (mid 2010) with 2 processors but I am not sure how Mac manage RAM between these 2 processors. For example, if I have 32GB (8X4GB) RAM with 8 cores (2 quad-core processors) will I be able to access all 32GB per core, or is it 16GB per processor (in which case a...

Hello MacRumours world! I'm thinking of getting a refurb'd Mac Pro 5.1 from MacBank and I'm a bit unsure which monitor/display would be best suited! I do music production so I'm a big fan of wide-screen/ultra-wide displays... (Can see more of whats going on!!) but I also need clarity. The Mac...

Lately my Mac Pro Late 2013 is quite laggy even in general lightweight usage. Minimising windows takes about two or three seconds, typing regularly gets delayed and takes a few seconds to catch up. The system isn't under load. Sierra, Quad Core, 64GB RAM. Done all the usual, restart, reset...

Surely Apple has employees who read these forums... right?? I don't see how there's any way Apple doesn't know what consumers want in their products... So why the heck doesn't Apple just make the products we want already? I'm so sick of Apple ignoring our wants and needs. This is all I'm...

I have a dual-CPU Mac Pro 4,1 w/ 5,1 firmware. I am planning on upgrading the CPUs. What tips/tricks/information should I know before doing this?

Ten years after their release and these Mac Pros are still a lot of fun to own and to work on. I have worked on a lot of original Mac Pro 1,1's and have managed to resurrect many from what was seemingly certain death. This last one, however, has me stumped. I picked this up as a throw-in...

Currently using a 12 core Mac Pro installed with 1 GTX 970. The card is the windows version and I don't want to flash the card because it's insanely expensive. I could, however, trade my Radeon 5770 for a GT 120. I need the Mac card so I can instal the proper drivers during updates, get the boot...

Just received a 2009 Mac Pro with 10.10.5 Yosemite installed. Whenever I try running the firmware update tool I get the 5570 error message. What should I do? Update: had the firmware update disk image named wrong. I download both version 1 and 1.5. Version 1.5 got renamed with -2.dmg. Now...

I read a lot of articles about how Apple is no longer innovating, how they have lost sight of the big picture, how now all they do is incremental updates to existing designs. Some say their products are outdated. Some complain about features missing from a new product. I would like to hear...

I want to upgrade my system drive (PCIe). All advise SM951 AHCI, but recently it isn't available to purchase and the prices of it are too high (there where it is). Advise me please good option for installation in Lycom DT-120. Besides that I need your opinion about INTEGRAL ULTIMAPRO X M.2 2280...
