Shut up and take my money!

I've installed 10.13.5 on an external USB drive clone, and then once everything is working okay, only then did I clone it back to my SATA internal drive. Reason I need to do it this way is if the upgrade fails, I want my computer to be unaffected so I can get back to work quickly and try again...

My problem was with the BIOS. I updated to the latest version for my mobo, and that fixed all instability.

YAAAAAAHHHH!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. Re-Installed a GTX970 back on my Hack (my 6870 card is failing and couldn't drive 3 monitors anymore), and for several days now I couldn't make this GTX970 to work. I know it worked previously on an older OSX version. Did upgraded Clover, run the...

Hey all, just got my first SSD drive and an OWC MacPro Mount. I tried a search but can't find an exact scenario to my question. I will be using this 500GB drive as the future home for my Windows 10 Parallels VM image. So basically, just using this SSD as a data drive, and not a boot/system...

Screwed standoffs to an old motherboard, lay it down on chassis, mark where the standoffs landed, and use JB-Weld to glue the standoffs to case (with mobo still attached), and placed weights on top of mobo until JB weld is cured. Unscrew old motherboard.

So I have a 2TB mechanical hard drive, about 1.3GB used. I'm thinking of getting a 500GB SSD, and using the 2TB old drive for my /Documents and home folder. Of course, I can't use SuperDuper to restore 2TB to 500GB. So what's my plan of action? Do I have to do a fresh install of OSX from...

I had 10.11.6 and successfully upgraded direct to 10.12.5 using App Store upgrade link. The only caveat is I upgraded my Clover EFI to version 4097 first. (My previous Clover EFI of 3974 didn't work.) Everything works after the upgrade, even Siri and Messaging after the upgrade. ** minor...

10.13 Mariana Trench

I bought mine used for $170 back in Nov 2016. It should be even cheaper by now. Something better? Maybe a 980.

My cinebench above is 4790K with AMD 6870 gpu, using iMac 14,2

FWIW, here's my Cinebench on a 4790K, and a GA-Z87MX-D3H mobo (F7 bios) -- im running 4.6Ghz though, using 46x multiplier.

You can get a used MOTU 828mk2 for about $220. (Firewire though) Works in El Capitan. 8x8 interface, plus 2 mic inputs. http://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/motu-828-mkii

The GTX 970 has a fan, but it doesn't run in normal operation, only when temps reach 60C for the GPU

I'm having same problem... random reboots for no apparent reason. Doesn't matter if it's light load, no load, or heavy load. On same motherboard Gigabyte GA-Z87MX-D3H + 4790K + 32GB RAM Generated DSDT for mobo, removed NullPowerManagementKext, increased Vcore, swapped graphics card, disabled...
