macpro 2010

I have a 2010 MacPro 5,1. About 4 years ago, I replaced the original video card with an RX580, and added an Inateck USB 3.2 card (slot 4). Later, I added a Wi-Fi/Bluetooth card (slot 2), and more recently an NVME drive (slot 3). Interestingly, aside from some occasional issues during the...

Hello from Southwest UK my first visit to MacRumours I have been given an Apple MacPro tower from around 2010. (Board has Apple 820 2337 A 2009 printed on it) Person who gave it told me it powered up a few days ago, but then told me it would not power up after that. Not sure of processor...

Hello Guys Can someone explain to me why I have to electrically and separately connect my Mac Pro 2010 to an electric triplet by itself because otherwise it starts without pressing the power button and on the other hand it takes 15 seconds before I hear the chime ring Thanks

I'm really hoping someone here might be able to help me troubleshoot an issue with my MacPro 5,1 I've already sunk a ton of time into figuring this out and haven't gotten to a solution yet. Tech Specs: MacPro 5,1 (Mid 2010) 12-Core: Two 2.93GHz Intel Xeon “Westmere” AMD Radeon RX 580 8 GB...

Hi Guys I have MacPro Mid 2010 with Sapphire Pulse RX580 8GB (and original Nvidia GT120). I have a problem with bluetooth when RX580 is plugged in - it works fine when GT120 is plugged in. It shows all the time OFF and unable to turn it on. Any ideas? OS Monterey 12.6.7

I had some problems installing Monterey using OCLP 0.6.5. I think the problems were due to me not following the instructions. I should have: created the target disk as macOS journaled extended. I think I originally created the boot disk disk as APFS (?). Also, I think the RX580 video card was...

Hello chaps, I'm encountering trouble with VMware Fusion on Monterey with MacPro 5,1 running OCLP. The lack of XSAVE instruction on the chips is stopping VMware Fusion from running on Monterey. The only solution I've gathered is to downgrade to Big Sur. Any one had tried this before as in...

Hello chaps, I'm looking to get into video editing thus my question in the thread header.

hi everyone! Has anyone installed big sur, monterey or ventura on a mac pro 5.1 (mid 2010) with the graphics card it came with from the factory? It turns out that when I try to install on mine I have followed all the instructions provided on the OCLP site and using version 0.6.1 I have had the...

Hi, I have a MacPro 5.1 that I am running with a 980ti. I set it up a while ago and I managed to struggle through installing windows to a clean SSD and was swapping it out for the Mac SSD to boot into mac. I haven't used the mac partition for some time, using it exclusively as a windows...

Hello. I have a Mac Pro Mid-2010 (5,1) that i recently upgraded to Mojave after installing a Sapphire RX 580. I tried using a Catalina Patcher to upgrade and when i went to try and do Option/Alt for the boot menu it didn't work. I saw a post online that doing: sudo nvram...

Yesterday I took the plunge and did a clean install of Monterey on my MacPro 5.1. Everything went well and to my surprise both the USB3 cards and a flashed RX580 worked great from the start. I'm also surprised to see that bluetooth through a cheap WTXUP BCM94360 still works in Monterey...

Hi there , I have a problem with my mac pro 2010. He needs a heather to start and to avoid shutdown. If there is no heather he stop working or i need to open Logic pro with a big project to keep him alive. Any idea ? I already have replaced the PSU. THX

TL;DR: My MacPro4,1 was having random cryptography issues, then the CPU tray reported the CPU as missing and refused to boot. After removing the Northbridge heat sink, the machine reports the CPU as alive and well. Machine Specs MODEL: MacPro4,1 - Early-2009 (Flashed to MacPro5,1 - 2010)...

Hello, I've got some NVIDIA Tesla K10 GPUs laying around and I was wondering if I could throw them into my good ol' MacPro 5.1. I made a Pixlas mod around a year ago and the PSU is powerful enough to handle two cards. However, only one card works. If I put two into it, the device manager says...

Hey Chaps, A. I'm helping a friend clean up his dual proc Macpro 5,1 and i see discoloration on the cpu block to the heatsink pipes. Is this leakage of sorts? Should i be concerned? B. The dual CPU board was littered with dust bunnies and had some gooey stuff on the SMD chips surrounding...
