would this chip be a working upgrade from an i5? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-SR0PK-Proccesor-i7-3770-3-40-GHz-Cores-4/163217036996?hash=item26007e56c4:g:jbcAAOSwYwNbfqpT

okay so I flashed the bios to the 3.04. - ssd drives are recognised totally fine with my other Macs - once I plug in either SSD it is not recognisable in Disk Utility of the clover menu - I am not seeing them as devices in the BIOS menu - The HDD still shows up fine - Tried out different SATA...

So the drives are definitely all good. I am trying to re-flash the BIOS with the latest 3.07 but since I don't have windows anymore it's a bit tricker than expected. Hopefully that will fix the issue...

I tried pulling the CMOS batter and removing power cable and running back up - still no luck. I am just a bit confused how the working SSD is no longer working (started the moment the new one was plugged in) and the new 500gb is also not showing up. I am going to purchase a usb -> sata cable...

not sure if I posted in the correct forum earlier - so wanted to post in here just in case. Sorry if this is against the rules! So I ran into an issue I cannot seem to solve after hours of research online. I have had my Elite 8300 setup with Sierra for some time now, working smooth like...

So I ran into an issue I cannot seem to solve after hours of research online. I have had my Elite 8300 setup with Sierra for some time now, working smooth like butter. I had the OS installed on my 120gb crucial SSD, and a 500GB HDD for storage. Today I purchased a 500GB Crucial SSD to try and...

Sure thing: - Adobe Premiere - Adobe After Effects - Ableton - Pro Tools - Logic - RED Cine-X Those are the main ones, but the most important aspect is to be able to render large video files quickly, especially since he is shooting on a RED camera.

Hey there, I am looking to do a CustoMac build for a friend who specializes in video editing and post production work. His budget is around $3000 give or take. If we were to really push it, what would you guys recommend?

yeah I wasn't seeing it show at all but actually figured it out, I had to change SATA Device Mode to AHCI. After that smooth sailing. Only issue that I haven't looked into yet cause it was 4am at this point, was no sound through hdmi - only through the little usb dongle I purchased EDIT: I am...

Finally USPS decided to deliver my final package, the GPU :) For some reason though when I get to the installer screen I am only presented to install into the USB and I do not see my SSD drive. Will try the other power slots later today but wondering if anyone else has seen that before...

Awesome that is fantastic info! Thanks so much for all your help :)

That's a very good point, thank you for that. I am most concerned with minor issues such as with Xcode and whatnot - my coworker built 2 setups already and hasn't had any kind of issues (other than iMessage which he doesn't care for) so I have good hopes. Do you think it is better to install...

Will absolutely do, I will also try and write out my experience in a separate post for the build. A side question - if I were to ever want to upgrade to i7 - would that be possible? Or remotely necessary? Other than the fact that it is the latest...

I found an i5, unfortunately all the i7s I came across were either SFF (which I wanted to stay away from only due to some space limitations I read through and the possibility of upgrading further) but they were also all $250+ and I wanted to keep my budget down quite a bit. And yes I got the 2...

oh boy, 88 pages of comments and here we are! I have followed this thread and cannot wait for my purchases to come in. Thanks to this guide I was sold on putting together my first build and was able to find some decent buys :) HP 8300 Elite MT - $160 G. SKILL 8GB - $45 TP-Link AC1750 - $40...

Hey there, Was wondering if there were any good deals anyone came across today for Cyber Monday? Was hoping to possibly get a desktop machine and change a few parts to be able to install High Sierra. Any links would be super appreciated!
