macpro

Greetings. My first foray here. I have a 2007 MacPro1,1 that has been a great box. Unfortunately, I've run up against the "You can't install/upgrade that software" wall good and hard. It was bad enough when I couldn't upgrade OS X past 10.6.8. Now I can't upgrade most of my tools nor install...

I'm heading into another build :thumbup: Would really like to have thunderbolt available as this will be replacing my current macpro video editing machine. Has anyone used the Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD7 TH?

I have a timemachine backup of my current hackintosh that I'd like to move to a macpro laptop recently purchased for my wife (shes an interior designer for anyone what cares) and I've had trouble moving the data over. It seems that some of the "old" drivers are causing an issue where the...

I'm currently set at MacPro3,1 and using the nVidia 343.02.02f02 drivers for my GTX960. I'd like to upgrade my system definition to MacPro5,1 or 6,1 to see if it makes a performance difference. Now, obviously the nVidia drivers only go as far as 5,1 (and the installer refuses to continue if I...

Well, I have a Macpro 5,1 running Yosemite and currently there's a Readeon graphics card in it. Since the main purpose of this computer will be rendering with Octane Renderer I need to change the vidcard to a Nvidia CUDA one. Have REALLY tried to find if anyone here runs a GTX Titan on...

Hi people, i'm completely new to hardware configuration and building. I've been a mac user for many years now but i've never really "looked" inside to see how they really worked. Today, i'd like to do something new and really exciting but i would like to submit to you my own configuration before...

Hey, hi, hello! This is my first post! Thank you guys for all the time you put in this forum and the guides. It’s awesome :D So, my MBP mid-2010 is annoying the hell out of me, because of the GPU-panic. And of course I’m out of the 3 years program (Thanks, Apple!), so i need a computer which...

Anyone wanna try building a HackPro in this thing? It'd really be awesome. http://item.rakuten.co.jp/mindo/s09061911/ http://www.ideaco-web.com/living/minitubelor.html

Hi guys, struggling to get "About This Mac" to show my system as a Mac Pro as opposed to an iMac 2001 (which its set as default) I've used multibeast for post installation, selecting Mac Pro 3,1 as system definition and it successfully installs the smbios.plis in /extra. After rebooting when...

Greetings, I'm new to tonymacx86 and I've never created/modified a computer (although I did change a light bulb last week). At present, I have well-functioning 2010 Mac Pro; but in about a year or so I might want to mod it. If I had to describe my Hackintosh vision, I'd say that I want to...

Hi, This is my first hack that I have ever made and it was working for about a month and I reinstalled the OS and ran MultiBeast after the install and when i restarted my computer it boot up until the apple logo and then the apple logo would go away and I get stuck at a gray screen :( I have...

With the release of OS X Lion in 2011, Sandy Bridge-based Macs were able to take advantage of Intel HD Graphics 3000. "For Mac computers with both integrated and discrete GPUs, some models allow you to use OS X to decide which GPU to use for rendering graphics. Other models automatically...

Hey all - brand new to this entire thing. I have had my MacBook Pro for almost 4 years now, and before that a MacBook that I found and refurbished (no joke). That being said, I've never actually had to build my own computer, and aside from installing more memory in my Pro, I have no clue what...

I'm building a MacPro off of CustoMac and I'm not sure I'm a fan of the Carbine 500r mid case. I would prefer more USB connections with awesomely good looks! Oh ya, and cooling too. Money is no object. The guts: Mobo : GA-Z77X-UP5-TH Processor : Intel Core i7-3770K Cooling : COOLER...

Hi all I was looking at buying the highest end MacBook Pro but my brother pursuaded me not too. To this end I've decided to build my own Hack. I really need some advice, I know how to build but I've not bbuilt one in years so I'm out of my depth on WHAT to buy in terms of numbers, makess and...
