Hey guys,
I am about to purchase the new 12 core mac pro. I am upgrading from a 17" 2008 MBP, so I know the power difference will be amazing. My number one usage for the computer will be 3d rendering (cinema 4d & vray). My main concern is power consumption and possible overheating..
I have heard that many people use an Uninterruptible Power Supply along with their workstations to prevent the computer shutting off incorrectly during a power outage. I would like to hear peoples opinions and advice on this topic.
Also, I will be doing a lot of long renders, probably days in render times, is there any chance that the mac will overheat or perhaps blow a fuse in the power etc?
I know these probably sound like stupid questions, but this is a BIG purchase for me and I want to be certain I am making the right choice.
Thanks in advance!
