The ATI Radeon HD 5870 in my 2012 MacPro (5,1 running High Sierra 10.13.6) died earlier today. A moment of silence, please. It was driving my primary monitor which went black (while the menu monitor, driven by an ancient ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB, stayed on). After 20 seconds or so the...

I've read several reports of people having their PSUs dying, so I was wondering, since those Mac Pros are at least 10 years old, if it's finally time to get our hands dirty by opening the PSU, warming our soldering irons and give the thing some love with new shiny capacitors. Recapping is a...

Can I use Thunderbolt on 5.1 Mac Pro? Can you tell me how? (I'm trying to connect my audio card)

hey guys. Thought I’d reach out. I’ve had an ongoing issue for well, years with my Mac Pro. Having had almost every part replaced the Mac has a flicker on external display. Apple have now determined that the flicker on my screen is because it’s in a scaled resolution. However it doesn’t do it on...

Hi, What is the fastest and well performing usb 3.0 card that I can buy for Mac Pro early 2009 running Mojave. I have heard from somewhere that with some cards it splits speed somehow when transferring from a USB 3.0 hard drive. Because of having limited ports, which I don’t want. So what...

Dear all, I'm using Intel Power Gadget to monitor my CPU temperature under load (I'm doing some 3d rendering at low resolution and quality). Intel power gadget is marking a temperature of 82 celsius for the CPU. It seems too high for me. Can you please confirm or tell me what's your...

Hi, a friend of mine tried to upgrade his dual CPU 2010 cMP and it turns out like it failed. The guy won't start the the 2 CPUs attached. He took it to my place and I first tough it could be some bended pins on the CPU socket but CPU B looks nice and that's exactly when we attach the second...

Hi, I'm in the process of upgrading a Mac Pro 2009 (already flashed to 5,1) with 2 x 2.26 Quad core Xenon processors. I'm upgrading to the X5677 processors (which I know have to be de-lidded or spaced with washers etc.)...BUT I've read that I need a "Dual Xenon" processor...... so my question...

I know there are a ton of successful 4 core to 6 core, dual processor upgrades for the 2009 MacPro on Youtube, but I'm sad to say that my attempt ended in disappointment. After ordering and waiting for the CPU's to arrive I set out to do the upgrade. I delidded the CPU's using the vice method...

This looks very familiar. Did ASUS learn nothing from Apple's mistake? https://www.4kshooters.net/2019/01/09/asus-announces-new-mini-pc-proart-series-for-content-creators/ Looks similar on the inside too.

Will Apple bring the 120Hz maximum refresh rate, with variable refresh even for separate areas of the screen using iPad Pro's ProMotion? Will the display support 8K or 5K? What format do you expect? Wide or superwide? What I/O will it support and what hardware do you believe it will...

Hi there, I have a 2017 macpro 13" that I purchased new a few months ago. I spilled a glass of water over the key board the other night. I quickly flipped it over, powered down and dried it off, let it sick a couple day before powering it back on. everything but the screen seems to be working...

Hi all, I own a macpro (2012) currently running high sierra with the default Radeon HD 5770 (i think that's the card) I ordered the Sapphire NITRO+ RX 580 Special Edition and it requires a 8 pin and 6 pin power connectors. I did my research and the few people who posted about this special...

Dear all, I'm stuck on a problem I have with macOS Mojave. If I install 10.14 all is ok. Whenever I install 10.14.1 or 10.14.2 after restart I have video artifacts on the right side of the monitor scrolling wifi menu, or volume, data etc etc. They are similar to horizontal scan lines but...

I have a deal on getting a Mac Pro Late 2013 Quad Core with 16gb ram for $900, is this worth it? I mean I could go hackintosh and all but I would like my Apple Experience to work seemlessly. I do edit 4K and I know lots of computers struggle in that area in general (we use proxies and etc), but...
