You pushed out the FrontVentilator and the Case beside without to screw out the RAM-Cage? I cant open the 2 screws front down of the RAM-Cage .

Thanks for the video man. I bought a new razer blade 17 pro laptop ( latest version) but still love my Mac pro 2006 but now I've been having start up issues with loud fan noise. It won't turn on. I opened it up but just don't know how to get to the power supply fan. I'm buying a second hand one and will really like to get it fixed to access my files on my old one. Any helps and tips would be much appreciated mate.

[@anthonybattle5209]

I had that problem in an older imac and saw a video that advised to vacuum the fans and then blow air into the outlets.

Just refurbished a macpro 2006 and it works great(2,1 El Capitan). Use it mainly for video editing and storing music. what’s a good capture card to stream video games from console? Just downloaded a legacy obs and did a quick test livestream and it works.

[@mirkofanfani98]

Sorry i dont have experience with capture cards

[@unkn0wn98]

What cables do i need to use to connect my mac pro 2006 to my tv? Dvi to hdmi and something for the sound? Amazing video✌🏻

[@mirkofanfani98]

Yes it should work

Pero las mac 1.1 y 2.1 no son compatibles con macos Capitan. como le hizo??

[@ChrisBrideauMedia]

It's wild what you can still do with these.

[@mirkofanfani98]

A lot of cheap ram and cpu cores

[@andrupka8749]

A great usable machine!

[@mecca6801]

where did you go for your logic board firmware?

[@gtrfan35]

How much did all of the upgrades cost you? How did you upgrade the firmware to 2.1? Wish you would have shown that part.

[@mirkofanfani98]

Hi about 30€ ram, 40€ cpu, 70€ ssd, 50€ gpu. Firmware was already 2.1 but its pretty easy to do, just run an upgrade tool as you can see in a lot of videos on KZbin

[@user-ej9jq2zf1y]

$32.40 $43.20 + $75.60 + 54.00 = $205.28 (Not bad at all! I think I am going to try doing this to my old mac pro and at least get some remainder use out of it!!! Where did you get the parts and do you have the name and spec information for each piece you had to purchase to install? Please share or direct me if shared before? Thank you!

Mi Mac torre G5, me enciende la torre, la pantalla no, da negro total, tampoco enciende el teclado para poder configurarlo, da 2 colores rojos adentro cuando se enciende, me equivoqué en colocar un código para quitar contraseña al dar en enter con esa equivocacion que no me di cuenta, se quedó así como lo estoy escribiendo, estaba funcionando y todo bien, pero le quería quitar la contraseña y me sucedió lo que escribo, el como hacer para que el teclado me funcione y entrar a sus datos.

[@user-in2fe6fy5g]

good job, allways like seeing old computers reutilized. am curious how much $$$$ was involved with the upgrade.

[@mirkofanfani98]

Hi, 200€ the machine, 50€ gpu, 100€ cpu and ram, 50€ ssd. More or less 400€ total

[@user-ej9jq2zf1y]

I have a mac pro tower 1,1, was thinking about doing this for running xplane....do you think it will handle and be worth doing a similar upgrade? Thanks for sharing!

Great

[@jazzlover10000]

So you are running El Capitan. What will you do when the packaage/app install+web certs expire later this month? This is the best machine I've ever owned- would like to keep using it until Apple makes something interesting again, if ever.

[@mirkofanfani98]

Yeah this is a great machine but i sold it anyway, because of updates and app compatibility its not useful anymore

[@Milordz]

That sucks. Do you recommend fixing one up.

Its a very old machine, but you can buy 5.1 thats more upgradable

[@Arrozconchopsticks]

[@jensputzlocher8345]

A Mac Pro 5,1 can run an actual MacOS with a little help of the "Open Core Legacy Patcher". A 3,1 or 4,1 will do it with somr issues, a 1,1 and 2,1 won't because of the 32bit Firmware. But all of them are running fine with Win 10 or Linux.

[@finniboy9670]

du brauchst viel mehr wärme paste

[@MezeiEugen]

Why not transfer the cooling ribs of the original Apple memory to the new memory modules? (Apple said it developed those for better cooling and a more slient computer.) Does the Macpro 1,1 accept 8 GB memory modules? I see those are coming down in price now. (Sure, they eat a lot of electricity.)

[@cmmn_sense]

If you are still interested in they whys its because you cant really take them off I personally wonder why he didnt reuse them so he would have 20 gigabytes of ram since its all DDR2 FB-Dimms at 667mhz and yes they take 8 gig sticks

Yea, search for dosdude1 patcher

Thanks bro

[@user-ej9jq2zf1y]

When you indicated Apple FW Flashed 8800 GTS graphics card, what do you mean by saying Flashed? How do I go about having a new graphics card flashed for upgrading this exact same computer. Second question, with adding the SSD card is there anything that had to be done unique in the settings to make SSD card be the booting card? I have this same computer I am considering trying to upgrade for doing flight simming.

[@mirkofanfani98]

Hi, you probably can put together a windows machine with less money and more performance in flight sim. Anyway there are vbios available for specific gpus that make them recognized by the mac pro with all boot screens and functions. No you just put the ssd in and install or copy the os to, then you select it as boot drive in the system preferences or by holding alt while powering on

[@user-ej9jq2zf1y]

@@mirkofanfani98 Thank you for the information!

[@Mary_Studor]

What to do, I had El Capitan when I bought Mac Pro 1.1, since I don’t understand the OS at all and this is my first experience, I entered iCloud, after which I got into the app store, I had a notification about possible system updates, I pressed install, after which the Mac rebooted and started the installation, but then after completion, I was transferred to Utilita Mac OS X and there are 4 options there: 1 restore the system from a copy (I did not have a copy there) 2 Reinstall Mac OS completely on Lion 3 help safari and 4 had something to do with memory drives. What to do? Please help, I don't want to completely reinstall the entire system and I'm playing with the installation of El Captain, please help, maybe everything is fine and I can return to the system?

[@mirkofanfani98]

Check if you have multiple os installation drives and boot from your working one. Press shift when powering on and see what options you have. Or you have to reinstall os from recovery like you have seen

[@cmmn_sense]

You installed one of the Updates that breaks El capitan for Mac Pro 1,1s/2,1s

[@markroper9544]

Hi, why not install Windows 10 or 11, at least that is an upto date operating system? Would your new graphics card be compatible with Windows anyhow can you say?

[@mirkofanfani98]

Yes it should be 100% compatible and up to date

[@another3997]

Why not install Windows? Because if they just wanted a Windows machine, they wouldn't have bought an Apple Mac in the first place? Because they like Mac OS?

[@markroper9544]

@@another3997 Of course that is an option, however, on a Mac Pro of that age, you have the choice between an antique o/s like lion or an up to date o/s such as Windows 10

[@veganmusicactivists.2166]

@@another3997 Because the Mac os is is old on this machine, and can't be upgraded beyond, Lion, i believe. Whereas you can run Windows 10 on this Mac.

Ciao, volevo chiederti se riuscivi a fare un video su quel mac li di come gira win 10 perchè ne ho uno e dovrei fare circa lo stesso upgrade che fai te nel video per poter tenere su un serverino però volevo sapere se win 10 gira bene. sai dirmi qualcosa?

[@mirkofanfani98]

Ciao. Immagini giri discretamente per lavori di uffico, qualcosa di grafica 2d etc. ti sconsiglio di usarlo come server h24 in quanto è poco efficiente, consuma molto e conviene molto dì più un mini pc con processori low power moderni. Guarda il mio video sul mini pc fanless, 30w di consumo e 0 rumore

[@attiliobarbano5565]

girano bene sia win 10 che 11, installati da zero su un altra macchina mulo, al primo riavvio si spegne, io metto direttamente l'ssd nello slot del mac, tanto è leggero. riguardo i consumi, dipende cosa lo si usa, io lo adopero come server delle ipcamere, misurando con un misuratore di campo(amperometro), consumo massimo 150 watt.
