5,1 / 12.7.1 / OC 0.95 Random freeze and silent restart
by Guest kkinto- 0 replies
- 9 views
Hi. I'm having a random freeze/silent restart issue with my MacPro. No fans come on, nothing even prior (I am using Macs fans) so it doesn't seems heat related. No chime on restart. I've just updated to Monterey 12.7.1 and since that process finished this new problem appeared. Maybe they are not related, but maybe they are. Twice since the update complete the Mac has just frozen for like 10-15 secs or so and then quietly (no chime) rebooted itself with a kernel panic warning. Until now... Read more Source: MacRumors

Just a quick sanity check if I may please? I have a 2010 cMP 5,1 and a mid-2011 27" iMac that is currently very poorly but I plan to repair sometime soon. Maybe sooner if the following might work...;) Both machines are running High Sierra and seem to meet the requirements to utilise Target Display Mode here but I wondered if anybody here has actually used it successfully with this hardware combination? If so I guess I can use either a Mini Display Port or Thunderbolt cable to... Read more Source: MacRumors

I have had two CalDigit FASTA-6GU3 Plus cards for a number of years. They have 2ea internal slots connected to internally mounted SSDs. They also have two external slots plus USB 3 connectors. The external connectors work fine. The internal controllers show in the System Report, but drives have stopped enumerating. I am down to one! I have done the usual. SMS and NVRAM resets. Swapping drives and cards into different slots. Nothing is helping. I moved my boot SSD to the Intel controller... Read more Source: MacRumors

5,1 cMP Always Boots From Black EFI Screen
by Guest riven2000- 0 replies
- 5 views
The last few days I was working with installing Big Sur on my 5,1 cMP, using OpenCore and an EFI boot. Long story short I decided to stick with Mojave, but now the machine always boots very slowly from a black screen with the Apple logo, and if I have to go to the Startup Mgr, it doesn't give me the usual gray screen with every volume. I've tried resetting SMC and VRAM; even reinstalled Mojave - no change. Any way to get this back to normal? Source: MacRumors

Hey all. I Have a 4,1>5,1 running on mohave with an affinity to panic. I haven't figured out why, thought it was my NVME pic but I removed it and its still crashing.

5,1 Dual and Single processor trays
by Guest entwerfen- 0 replies

I have a 5,1 Mac Pro Twelve Core 2.4 (2012/Westmere) and an extra 5,1 single processor tray with a single 3.33 GHz Six Core Xeon W3680. I wanted to swap in the single processor tray while I procure two matching Xeon X5690s to upgrade the dual tray. But the single processor tray doesn't go all the way in. They are both 5,1s, not a 4,1. Is there a trick to getting the single tray to seat correctly? What might I be missing? Thanks! Source: MacRumors

Hi all, I have a 2009 Flashed 5,1 Mac Pro that originally came with the single 2.66ghz CPU. I upgraded to a 2010-2012 dual CPU tray with the quad core CPU’s looking to eventually upgrade to dual X5690’s and 1333ghz RAM in the future. My issue is that after installing the stock dual CPU tray into my machine, it wouldn’t boot fully. I would get a chime and the apple logo but the loading screen would freeze a quarter of the way and never continue. I was able to get it to boot fully into the OS... Read more Source: MacRumors

5,1 Martin Lo. Stuck in Monterey 12.7.4
by Guest zterm- 0 replies
- 11 views
I have several Macs running Monterey 12.7.6 with OCLP. I also have a Mac Pro with the Martin Lo patch, which works perfectly, but for some reason, it’s stuck on 12.7.4 and hasn’t shown me the update to 12.7.6. Since I plan to keep this machine on Monterey (and Mojave on another drive), I'd like to get the latest update. Is there an easy way to update to 12.7.6 without breaking this perfectly working setup?

Hey all! I'm wondering if it's at all possible to convince my cMP 5,1 —running Martin Lo's OC build— that Monterey is the newest supported OS and only pull updates for that. In the troubleshooting section here, it's mentioned this might be accomplished by manually configure some bits in SIP. Read more Source: MacRumors

Hi everyone, First of all thanks to this community for providing so much information and being so helpful. I'm new to Mac Pros and picked up my mid 2010 5,1 a couple months ago to mess around with and play some games. I'm trying to get back into PC gaming after a very long break of using consoles only. I know its not a great gaming rig, but it seemed like a fun project and I like Macs. So on to the problem that I ran into: The computer ran fine when I first got it but I started to...

5,1 Order of upgrades?
by Guest Oxtart- 0 replies
- 2 views
Hello all. My 2009 5,1 is currently sitting at Mojave and I’d like to bring it to Monterey, add some internal nvme drives and put a usb/c card in it. Do I first instal opencore, bring it up to Monterey and then add the nvme drive and usb card? Or Should I add the nvme and usb card while at Mojave and then do opencore and Monterey last? Hope this makes sense. Source: MacRumors

I have a 5,1 that was having issues that i still haven’t been able to figure out. I decided to buy a replacement backplane since all of my other components were tested and deemed fine. I installed the backplane last night and now the tower will power on but doesn’t chime or boot. I have tried multiple GPU, and CPU trays, a dual 5690 tray and a single 5690 tray, both from a 5,1. the diagnostic led’s look fine besides the GPUOK light blinking which i’ve read could indicate a cpu error.

5,1 ram mismatch
by Guest basslik- 0 replies

I have three different pairs of memory in my Mac Pro. speed and cas Latency are the same, even the model numbers are almost the same except a letter here or there different. Total of 128. I read on OWC that the memory sticks should all match? I really haven't had any issues so far except the usual hiccups pro Tools is known for. I do have 48 megs from OWC. Should I use it instead of the mismatch, even though it's half the memory, yet running triple channel. THANK YOU Source: MacRumors

Hi all - installed Monterey on the 5,1 without issue after sitting on Catalina for some time. However, now the boot to login screen takes 3-5x as long, and even with Martin Lo's most recent 0.9.5 OC setup, with all the bluetooth fixes enabled, still has no BT or Wifi.

Hi guys, I'm going to buy myself a cMP soon to replace my ageing and very-much dying 2015 MBP. Question is whether I should go (Dual CPU) 4,1 / 5,1 or a 6,1. This will be for doing work in FCPX, After Effects and C4D. This is my pro/cons list of each and want some input on what I should go for. Another factor is that I use an Apple TB Display so I need Thunderbolt to use it. (No M1 is not an option for me) 5,1 - Pros: - Easy and cost-effective upgrades with full...
