Hi Everyone,
Since reading this forum, I was thinking to mod my 11 year old 2007 Mac Pro to give it a new life a new purpose I have read quite a lot, and I decided what to do so I take on the challenge.
My Specs:
Specs:
CPU: Intel i9-9900K
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15
MB: Gigabyte Z390 M Gaming
Memory: HyperX Predator 64GB (4 x 16GB)
PSU: Seasonic Prime 750 Titanium SSR-750TR 750W 80+ Titanium
Fan: 3 Noctua NF-F12 PWM
SSD: 2 of Samsung 860 EVO 4TB 2.5 Inch SATA III Internal SSD
M.2 Disk: Samsung 970 EVO 1TB
GPU: AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Edition Air
Disk Adapter: 4 of NewerTech AdaptaDrive 2.5" to 3.5" Drive Converter Bracket
BT/ Wifi Card: Padarsey BCM94360CS2 WiFi Bluetooth Airport Wireless Card
First I disassembled all the components in Mac Pro, it was quite straight forward but still took me 1 hour to do all that, also I took some help from ifixit at some points where I had a hard time, trying to find out a stubborn screw which locks the front fan assembly, interestingly it was just at the side of the case, here are some photos, from disassembly.
