MP 1,1-5,1 Apple will recycle my cMP… for free :(
Charming. Was having a look at Apple's site - just dreaming about the future. And what caught my eye was that I could trade-up a Mac for up to NZ$1400 off. Wow! Must check out what my cMP 4,1 > 5,1 (see my sig for my specs) might get me. And immediately had that sinking feeling. Apple will... -
MP 1,1-5,1 Pulse RX 580 8GB or Pulse RX 590 8GB?
The Pulse RX 580 is a supported GPU, and the Pulse RX 590 also probably works in cMP from other reports of success that the Nitro RX 590 works. So is it safe to go ahead and get the Pulse RX 590 and that future macOS support will follow if Apple continues to support the RX 580, or are there... -
MP 1,1-5,1 Is it time to give our cMP's PSU a recap?
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... -

Im having an issue with my new Mac Pro 2010 I purchased. I transferred all my components from my 2008 Mac Pro (SSDs, HDDs, Disk Drive (2nd Bay), Video card, etc. I upgraded the processors to 2 x 3.46 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeons.

MP 1,1-5,1 Ubuntu/Linux NVME
Hi, has anyone installed Ubuntu or any other Linux distro on an NVME drive on a 4,1/5,1? I currently have Ubuntu 18.04 running on a cheap san disk ssd. I wouldn't mind Mojave and Ubuntu on an NVME. As I am running Windows on on compatibility mode, I assume that would have to stay within one...- jklash1987

Mac Pro Mac Pro 5,1 Mojave, Sapphire RX580 no HDMI video
Here's a head scratcher .... can't figure this one out. Mac Pro 5,1, Mojave 14.4, Sapphire RX580 video card. Video displays fine when using AOC monitors with DVI input. I use DVI to HDMI adapters to plug both monitors into the video card HDMI inputs. Looks great. However when trying to use a... -

cMP 5.1 - how to test temp probe on CPU heatsink?
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...- phoenix.factory

High Sierra 10.13.6 and Boot Rom 140.0.0.0... Gone too Far?
Hi, I wanted bootable NVMe and Nvidia support, and I knew the 387.10.10.10.40.122 drivers worked OK on 10.13.6 so didn't think anything of applying the prerequisite Mojave firmware 140.0.0.0... then when I tried to install the drivers (using the nvidia-update script on github) it said that there... -

My cMP 5,1 (flashed 4,1) running High Sierra does not fully shut down. The screen darkens but the cursor stays on. When the screen darkens, cursor jumps to upper left corner and remains live. If left alone, it seems system or monitor will sleep and awaken when mouse is moved. Just started... -

MacPro 3.1 CPU upgrade
Dear Friends, help me to choose CPU to upgrade my 1CPU cMP 3.1. As I understand it is not worth using 3.2 GHz CPU because of TDP 150w vs 3.0 TPD 80-120 (E or X version). So, I have question: which CPU I can use with Mac Pro 3.1 2008: 1) X5472 or E 5472 2) SLASA or SLANR? (As I remember from... -

cMP 4,1 / 5,1 Exhaust fan replacement
Hey folks, the rear exhaust fan of my cMP 4,1 started to rattle and make noises. Therefore I'd like to replace it. I found some used cMP fans on ebay and was wondering if I can use a 3,1 exhaust fan as well? Are they interchangeable? The design looks very similar. Thanks. -

bad 4.1 dual processor board?
What can be wrong on a 4.1 tray? It's only on the CPU B side. It's not the CPU, swapped several times. It's not the memory, swapped as well. With another tray everything is fine. I know this tray has been sitting in a computer who ran hot, it killed the CPU B, replaced it, but something else is... -

cMP, RX580, and FCPX performance
I recently installed a Sapphire Pulse RX580 8GB card into my 4/5,1, with 32GB RAM and X5680. Boots from Apple SSD SM256E/PCIe; SATA SanDisk Ultra II 480 as working drive. Based on a few comments here and there, this should be the final piece to enable 4K FCPX. I wanted to compare this to my... -

Server Duty: cMP vs. Mac mini 2018
I've made no secret of my opinion about the (over)pricing on the new Mac mini in other threads, and my own (personal + consulting company) tally of Mac Pros is now up to 6 :D (1 x 2006, 1 x 2007, 1 x 2008, 2 x 2009 (4,1>5,1), 1 x 2010)...so clearly my thought process is always leaning toward the...
