pci-e

I have a moderately updated 5,1 Mac Pro - currently with a generic USB3 PCI-e card providing four additional fast USB ports. I now need to connect a USB-C device to the machine. I am not sure whether it is better to use a USB-A to USB-C converter plug or to add an additional (or replacement)...

Hi all, I'm a novice when it comes to power supplies, and how much power specific things can output, so I've come here for help. I've decided to get a GTX 780 for my Mac Pro 3,1, because I want something I could use if I ever upgrade, even if it's bottlenecked slightly, however, that's not the...

Hi so I want more USB port instead the 4 usb port on the late 2005 Power Mac G5 Quad so I find this: Will it works on Leopard? The seller said it works on the 2006 to the 2012 Mac pro's. It USB 2.0 not 3.0.

When I purchased my new Sapphire 11265-05-20G Radeon Pulse RX 580 8GB GDDR5 Dual HDMI/ DVI-D/ Dual DP OC W/BP (UEFI) LITE (from Newegg) I only made a cursory investigation into the necessary Dual Mini 6 Pin to 8 Pin PCI-E Power Adapter required to power the GPU. Now that the card is kaput after...

Hey everyone, I just picked up a BCM943602CS Wireless card (PCI-e) for my 2009 Mac Pro that I updated to a 5.1. The card is advertised as Mac compatible and many people use it in the Hackintosh builds, but for some reason I can not get my Mac to recognize it. My OS is Mojave. Has anyone had any...

I'm getting a 2nd 3.46GHz 12-core 5,1 Mac Pro specifically for audio sample streaming via VEP6. I'll probably go the DVD Bay route for the OS SSD to maximise available PCI bandwidth and I'll probably put a GTX 680 in slot 1. That leaves slots 2,3 & 4 for PCI SSD cards. The aim is to optimise the...

Hi there, So, after research I made an investment in the GTX 750 ti in order to breath the last bit of life into my Mac Pro 1,1. The machine already has upgraded processors, 14GB or RAM and SSD disk for the OS, but this card was about giving it one last chance before it's too late. However, it...

Hi, First of all, happy new year to everyone! I'm thinking about installing some USB 3.1 pci-e card in my PM G5 dual core 2,3GHz and my question is if it's even gonna be recognized by 10.4.11 Tiger? And what about USB type C? Is there any hack or kext to make it work on PowerPC platform?

Hi, I'd love to mod my PM G5 by adding LED strips inside, but I've ran into a problem I don't know how to solve. As I have upgraded the GPU, the 6 pin pci-e power socket on the motherboard is already occupied, along with the two of four pci-e expansion lanes. I have both HDD bays occupied as...

Havent checked it yet, but is it still possible to change slots needs setup?

Does anybody have any experience with these cards? I still have spinning hard disks in my Mac Pro 2010 which feels so ancient now and is bottlenecking my speed. I understand the 2010 MP doesn't have Sata 3 speeds (?) so I wanted to use PCI-e card with an SSD to get the full benefit of the SSD -...
