Just looking for some thoughts on this from the group here. I am considering upgrading from 3225 to 3770 in my Cube and realize I could be getting into some heat issues. I have a Noctua NH-L9i cooler, an 80mm Noctua PWM fan at the bottom, and 40mm Noctua at the top which I am considering with...

Just dusted off my old cube build to set up as a server- removed the optical drive and put in a 2tb HDD. I did a fresh install of Mavericks using Clover and just the vanilla config.plist seems to get everything going just fine. I have Ethernet, wifi, graphics working fine (have not installed...

I finally found a case I like for my NUC - the iMac G4 mod will have to wait. I am pretty pleased with this thing except that the power LED is red rather than white. As you can see from the pictures, there is room to fit a 2.5 HDD in the case and once I get the right USB cable I will do so...

I have a wiring question for my electrically gifted friends out there - (Minihack, Neilhart, ersterhernd, and Mactest57 I'm looking at you guys). I have recently purchased a hard drive enclosure that I think would make a nice home for my NUC. The power button to turn the thing on only has...

First, thanks to Tony and MacMan for getting such a nice product out so quickly on the heels of the 10.9 release. I am very pleased that my Sapphire HD 7750 Ultimate now works without the silly white screen. Everything seems to be working as it should - I get the ripples when adding new...

I hope that catchy title got everyone's attention. I would like to get rid of the external brick for my cube. I have a DQ77KB with a Dell laptop power supply. I know I can feed the power internally from a two pin 19V source. However, I would then need to power that internal source...

So I have a problem getting my Cube Hack (DQ77KB and i3-3225) working properly with my ACD model number A1082 - the 23-inch aluminum model. When I plug my Cube into a Dell U2412M using the HDMI port on the DQ77KB with an HDMI to DVI adapter (from a new mac mini) to DVI cable to monitor I have...

So this is a bit of cheating as I have already built my Cube, although as my wife recently bought a Surface Pro and has gone over to the dark side (Windows) The Prodigy build is now just sitting around so I may swap out the 2105 in my cube for the 3225 in the Prodigy. I mean why not have all of...

Hi giacomoleopardo, I figure this is a good place to discuss fixing USB3 functionality via DSDT editing. I have reposted my response here. Thanks for your help. Thanks for your feedback. I am currently using MacPro 3,1 with my SandyBridge 2500K. How do I get a virgin DSDT? I do not need...

I apologize if this is a rookie question, but here goes. Is there difference between "GraphicsEnabler=No" or its equivalent in my chameleon boot plist and just removing it completely? I have a GT 640 which works natively with graphics enabler no. If I were to delete the two lines...

Based on other posts I have read, I feel like I may be getting a bit greedy here, but since we all are shooting for 100% functionality, I wanted to raise the question and see if anyone has a solution. I have a P8Z77-M Pro with a 2500k processor and a GT640 that is natively supported OOB...

I have already done a cube mod but in horsing around I fried the USB 2.0 ports so I thought that was a good a reason as any to start from scratch. Not really from scratch as I will just get a new mob. So here is my big question. I never got around to fitting the I/O shield onto the bottom of my...

Not really sure why I have made this a post when it should probably be a direct question to the master of the cube switch, mini hack, but in case anyone else has had this problem - let me know if you have a fix. I had a perfectly working Cube mod with a DH61AG. However, as I'm sure all of you...

I am beside myself with the state of my Mac Pro mod. Everything works perfectly, except the power cycling. Whenever I shut down my computer, I cannot power it back on without unplugging the power cord waiting about a minute and then plugging it back in. I removed everything from the case and...

So I finally got around to doing the front panel USBs on my Mac Pro mod and while testing to make sure I had the wiring correct (I didn't) I noticed that my temperatures without the front Mac Pro case fan array (2x120mm fans) were about the same, maybe even a degree or two cooler. So here is...

So I have a Mac Pro case that looks pretty cool. The only eyesore are the ugly Noctua fans in my NH D14 (they are the PWM so real quiet). I am running two, soon to be three original Delta case fans, plus the original delta psu fan. My question is this- if I remove the 12 and 14 cm fans from the...

Well I finally finished (sorta) my Mac Pro case mod. Below please find the components used. ASUS P8Z77M Pro I5 2500K Sapphire (HIS?) Radeon 6850. The box said sapphire but the cooler says HIS and is one of those IceQ light blue things 2x4gb corsair low profile RAM (soon to be 4x4)...

Hi all, Just about done with my Mac Pro - only cable management left to really take care of- and wanted to ask a question of those of you who have done one of these and make an observation for those considering taking the leap. It seems that the SAS to SATA converter that I got from...

First, let me start by saying that I have moved a SilverStone PSU into a Mac Pro PSU cage and everything is working perfectly. This is therefore not a super serious, functionality question. Rather, it is simply a question of vanity and aesthetics. I suspect some people on here can relate to...
