who disliked and what or who hurt you

[@macgamer1973]

My Mac Pro 2013 has a EGPU Radeon Vega 56 connected to it.

[@forrestegan]

I have a 2013 Mac Pro and love it….I don’t think it’s their worst Mac Pro.

[@mr.spokesman5849]

but is it worth it? How much electrical consumption does it take? Intels are ded on Macs ... M processors are just too good ...

[@forrestegan]

Well, I love it, so it’s worth it to me. Way cheaper than any other option I would consider.

[@Gamehighlight2023]

I got mine in 2024, and I'm happy with it as a vintage yet very capable ! It has nice design as always from Apple

[@andrewplant5818]

I just picked up a very cheap base 4 core with 32gb ram and 512ssd, mainly just to have a play. It came with Yosemite installed. I took it up to Monterey with software updates and then up to Sonoma with OpenCore Legacy patcher. It's not going to break any speed records, but works fine as an everyday computer and looks great. If you can pick one up cheaply, they are a great 'project'.

[@rpoosua3452]

Just got mine today 12 core, Dual D700, 1TB, and 64GB RAM.

[@endingsoon]

IMO this is the best looking mac pro cuz its very unique. Also the mc test was helpful for me as i need a computer for mc and was considering one of these.

[@richardsmith7887]

Thinking of getting one to play

[@nbttl1975]

I just bought one and used boot camp to install windows 10 on it. It seems to be a bit slow on the Monterey side but Windows 100 runs very well on it.

[@babyjayASMR]

have you done the CPU upgrade yet? I have a 6 core Mac Pro I just got and plan on putting a 12 core in it and want some first hand advice on the process

[@ErickHatesBMC]

mine came with the 8 core, which generally performs better than the 12, if you wanna upgrade your cpu, go for the 8 core

[@sirlimpsalot7767]

i have the 2.7 6 core version of this and threw in 128GB of ram, i can easily run GTA V at 85-100 FPS, my next upgrade is the 12 core cpu for 30-50 via ebay

[@bigdiggle5036]

I think you got ripped off paying 200 for a 4core with no ssd and ram, I paid 250 for mine that came with the 6core, 32gb ram and 1tb SSD with the D500s

[@ErickHatesBMC]

it was 200 with an 8core and no ram/ssd, not a 4 core or 6 core

[@LeonTichy]

OMG FELLOW MAVERICKS ENJOYER!

[@carliton7221]

I still use it.

[@ErickHatesBMC]

yeah lots of people still do

[@stephencawker1565]

put a samsung 970 pro in it ok..fast!

[@bearparts]

I have 2 of these

100th and 5th comment

[@nosajgames]

still have mine as a table piece. love it still!

[@alexblankenship7385]

Beautiful design but flawed for thermals. This would work with the smaller Apple silicon chips though and change up the ventilation design. I love Studio though.

[@BrockSuire75]

I just received my 2013 Mac Pro from EBay. Its the 6 Core, 16GB Ram, 512GB SSD, with Dual D500's for $199.99.

[@tonyblack3401]

I maxed one out for like $20 and put Linux on it. Fantastic powerhouse of a server.

[@Psychiatry.321]

[@Gabrielmoon777]

great video dude! just picked up one of these puppies! it's worth owning just as a collectors item if nothing else. but still totally useable!

[@emilianotechs]

Just ordered a mac pro 6 1 on ebay, should arrive Tuesday. 6 core, 64 GB, D500s! Love watching videos about it 😂

[@transitengineer]

Thank you, for posting this fun and ... real world adventure of buying and starting up a used Apple desktop. If, we change the name of the 2014, space gray "trash can" desktop from "Pro" to "Early Studio" like a pre-M1/M2 "Mac Studio" it makes more since. Steve Job's loved closed systems. So, we now have the "G4 Cube", the Intel "mac mini", the Intel "trash can", and now the M1/M2 "Mac Studio". I always wanted a space gray "trash can" in my collection. So, last year I picked-up a 8-core/D700/64GB/1TB SSD model and paired it with my already owned Apple 27-inch Cinema LED (none thunderbolt) display and everything has been working great (smile...smile).

[@Dave102693]

Should I buy this in 2024?

[@ErickHatesBMC]

if you can get one marginally cheaper than an m1 mac mini, then yes

[@Niconewgamer2nd]

The “ legendary “ apple trash can starting at €both of your kidneys

[@bitcrafter]

No, it wasn't a massive failure. It only failed those who didn't use it. That machine is been an F'ing champ now for 13+ years, and made over a million dollars in business. Is that a failure? I just bought a second one the other day with a monitor, with a keyboard, a mouse, AND the D700's for $300. It was a steal.

[@ErickHatesBMC]

"over a million dollars in business" does not mean a lot when we're referring to apple, a multi-TRILLION dollar company

[@bitcrafter]

@@ErickHatesBMC Nice try at minimizing it, but that's just one machine over a lifespan. that's a pretty good investment, $6K for $1M in return. Apple stock has done far better and I won't complain. I'll buy Apple, all day, every day! There's NO price for productivity.

[@photo_n_art]

It is actually Mac OS 10, X stands for Roman numerals 10... Just saying🤷‍♂️. Other than that good vid mate 👍

[@peterwolanyk3428]

When the iPhone 10 came out and everyone called it the iPhone X 🤦‍♂️

[@KelzCasa]

I think the worst Mac Pro is the 2019 model, just because affordability. This only trumps the Mac 5,1 for the price in terms of size and great looks.

[@ErickHatesBMC]

at least the 2019 model has more upgradability and from introduction to discontinuation didn't have 6 year old cpus in it

[@KelzCasa]

@@ErickHatesBMC - True, but the price is unrealistic for a play around machine like the 6,1 and 5,1

[@ErickHatesBMC]

@richardxstroker give it more time, the 2019 mac pro is still way newer than the 2013 model, once businesses offload more they'll severely tank in price

[@KelzCasa]

@@ErickHatesBMC True! I’ll be happy to add on to my growing Mac Pro collection once they get dirt cheap as well!

[@wilperez8391]

Has anyone ever thought of turning this Mac Pro into the ultimate Homepod sub woofer ? I’m sure there’s a way.

[@ErickHatesBMC]

the speakers on it are pretty horrible, so even if there was a way to do that, it wouldn't be good

[@richeyrich2203]

@@ErickHatesBMChe means gut it and use the frame and case

[@SpangeBatta]

8 core scores better then the 12core?

[@ErickHatesBMC]

yea

[@bigkahunauk1]

I heard 12 core gets throttled for thermal considerations. 8 core can run more peformantly since it doesn't cause as much heat.

[@ErickHatesBMC]

@bigkahunauk1 8 core also has better single core performance than the 12 core

[@cory5197]

What happens to this after it is no longer supported by Apple?

[@ErickHatesBMC]

it's already unsupported since macos monterey

[@cory5197]

@@ErickHatesBMC ohh, okay, but does it still have its safety updates? Or any updates in general?

[@ErickHatesBMC]

@cory5197 fairly sure it gets security updates, however you can use opencore to get it to ventura

@@ErickHatesBMC got it! Thanks!
