[@ojasdillikar4738]

Now thats taking trash and turning it into gold! It parkoured from 2013 to 2020 pretty quick Awesome upgrade

[@ShadesOfTech]

Thanks! I just hooked up an AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT and testing some 8k video editing!

he has to work on the audio levels tho the music is way to loud and then when he speaks the audio is to quiet so i am constantly turning my audio up and down

[@dschroed78]

I am about to do the same CPU Upgrade... processor is on its way 🤗

[@ShadesOfTech]

I have been using the 12 core for more than a month and it’s tremendous power! Breaks FCPx like butter in rendering and exporting. Also got an egpu with 5700 xt video on the way it’s extremely powerful

[@RareMade]

Shades of Tech show us!

[@RareMade]

would it be good for 3D? I want to get one and use it for that and photoshop as well for video editing /fx

[@ShadesOfTech]

@@RareMade I didn't test 3d but I can tell you that I am testing 8k video editing with an e-gpu and it works. So I think with a good gpu and the 12c cpu you could handle 3d as well. Not sure if 3d is more CPU or GPU intensive or both

[@RareMade]

@@ShadesOfTech anyway you can test it please

Do you know if this nvme is compatible and is a good option to use in Mac pro 2013? Crucial P3 Plus 1TB M.2 PCIe Gen4 NVMe

yes, heard it was getting 1500 read speeds, please post speed test

i meant the gen 3 model p3, the p3 plus is gen 4 , 2 much ssd for the 2013 mac pro ok, get the p3 ok thats the 1 you need for the 2013, or you,ll get bottlenecked ok. trust me, if you bought the p3 plus, just bring it back and down grade...they,ll understand you need gen 3, not gen 4

[@stephencawker1565]

how did you make out?

[@Cinefilo_Celuloide]

Hello a great job, I'm a little confused I've seen videos where they put a processor "E5 2696 v2" and you and others that I've seen place E5 2697 v2 which would be the right one for my Apple Mac Pro ME253LL/A 4-Core Xeon E5-1620v2 3.7 12GB 256GB (Late-2013) MG7251 "AMC 2630" thanks

[@ShadesOfTech]

I am not totally sure it would work. My rule was to use the same cpu as apple shipped it back in 2013. Probably it would work with similar cpu if other people managed to do that. I only tried the one in the video because I was sure it would work.

[@karimelbahloul3854]

@Shades of Tech is this Maxed out machine worth in today's Market considering Monterey will end its support in late 2024 ?

[@ShadesOfTech]

Not at all, considering that m1 Mac mini base performs as well as this machine in video editing. And costs 300$ used

[@karimelbahloul3854]

@@ShadesOfTech so I know this is a good machine back then but if you maxed out the RAM to 128 GB and expand the SSD to 2TB and dual AMD FirePro D700 would you say if I were to save money would this last longer by these maxed out configurations ?

[@ShadesOfTech]

Unless you specifically need 128gb of ram I guess it’s a better option spending money on M2 Pro Mac mini. In the end I got M1 Max Mac Studio and it’s more than enough.

[@andreafowke2127]

Im sure you will be able to run the next version macOS Sonoma as long as upgrade meet requirements

[@walidkerkeni]

Nice video bro. i got a late 2013 quad-core mac pro with 12Go of DDR3 1866MHz Ram. im just wondering if it's possible to upgrade to 3x8Go DDR4 2400MHz Ram , or it must stay in 1866MHz Frequency ?

[@ShadesOfTech]

You need to use the same ram apple used. If you want you can get up to 64 gb of 1866 or 128 gb with slower. Go on OWC to see the correct specs. Considering it’s 2013 there’s no way it supports ddr4. It didn’t exist yet in 2013

[@walidkerkeni]

@@ShadesOfTech thanks bro. So i can use 4 x ram with same frequency of 1866Mhz either use others DDR3 ram (also same frequency but slower than 1866MHz)?. can't i use DDR3 ram with higher than actual frequency ?

[@dizzyneurin4654]

Cool Switch style Apple watch.

[@ShadesOfTech]

Thanks I love it! Just need to buy 2 different colour bands and mix! The result is dope!

[@白老师爱交易]

You did a fantastic job with the video!！Is the performance of fpcx clip 4k significantly improved after the upgrade?THX，

[@ShadesOfTech]

kenri young yeah the cpu improved a lot the performance even if with video editing the biggest improvement was using an egpu with the amd 5700xt. But it’s more expensive

[@stephencawker1565]

Apperently you can upgrade the trash cans wifi card, using only the 2015 Macbook pro 8.1 wifi card..is this true?..And whats your opiuon, on the owc 128gb memory kit!.Do you use that?, in the 5.1 rigg?They make 1 for the 5.1 Mac pro tower, I call it..They explian how the 12 core works using only 1066mhz, not 1866, but you need 128 more than you realize, type thing.for your heavier work, editing etc,,True?..or just use 64 gb 1866?

[@gregfay]

Gulp. Got all the way to the inside, but then the final four internal screws holding the CPU have solid caps! No Torque screw hole in them! What the heck! Has anyone seen this? And if so, how the heck do you remove those?

[@gregfay]

Saw this on another site!!! Yay!... "you've run into Apple's new tamper-evident screw stickers. Before you proceed, please note that removing these screws will leave behind clear evidence to Apple that you've been inside the computer, leaving you no wiggle room on your warranty. To remove the screws, first press down with the T10 screwdriver around the centers of the circles, where you would expect the holes to be, and you'll tear right through the stickers (you may have to blindly rotate the screwdriver a bit to get it to line up correctly, since the stickers conceal the holes). Then, just unscrew as normal. A couple more notes: new Mac Pro 2013's started shipping with these CPU screw stickers some time in 2015, and if you take an older Mac Pro 2013 in for repair, Apple will quietly add the stickers if, during the repair process, they end up stripping the computer down to the CPU bracket. I haven't found a satisfactory method for preserving the stickers, nor a replacement, but I imagine it could be done... davidmatics - Aug 9, 2016"

[@ShadesOfTech]

I did not have the warranty tops. Anyway my Mac Pro was already long gone out of warranty

[@frankienutz123]

what type of performance boost can you expect upgrading from 6 to 12 core? thank you.

[@ShadesOfTech]

I talk about performance boost in this video! Mac Pro 2013 12 core in 2020 worth it? Intel Xeon E5 2697 v2 Benchmark | Shades Of Tech ⬡ kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXacf6OneZWcibs

[@dancook4993]

Will this work Intel Xeon E5-2697 V2 SR19H 2.70GHz 12 Core CPU Processor FCLGA2011 for a Mac Pro 2013 ? Or SR19H Intel Xeon E5-2697 v2 12-Core 2.70GHz QPI 30M 130W FCLGA2011 Processor not sure what the difference is so many or the LGA 2011

[@ShadesOfTech]

I’m not sure about this question. I would say that the one that apple used will work 100%

[@angeluzdraco3851]

Entonces no es sierto que puedo ampliarlo a 128 gb? Solo a 64

[@ShadesOfTech]

You can go up to 128 gb but with slower ram

[@DanteNey]

what do you think about upgrading the ram to 128gb? according to OWC and transcend jetmemory this mac pro 2013 is capable of supporting 128gb of ram

[@ShadesOfTech]

Yeah it’s confirmed it supports 128 Gb but you have to use slower ram dims. In my usage scenarios at full load while video editing I use maximum 32 Gb so in my case you want to have faster dims rather than more ram. If you need more ram because you use more than 64 gb you can use 128 gb but if you don’t do that it doesn’t make sense the extra money

[@amdintelxsniperx]

@@ShadesOfTech i think it will support load reduced dimms to which should keep the 1866

Saludos desdes Ecuador Exelente información, tengo una consulta, cuanto maximo de RAM puedo ponerle a una MAC PRO LATE 2013, Procesado: 3,5 GHZ 6-COre Intel Xenon E6, AMD Firepro D500 3072MB, lo utlizo para edicion de VIdeo y los redenres estan muy demorados al momento tengo 16 de RAM Saludos

[@Jmz7vHD]

Según yo 64gb es lo máximo, quizá sería interesante ver si puedes hacer el upgrade de las tarjetas de video ya que también importa mucho pero sería mucho más caro y sería conseguirlas de segunda mano. La unica opción para eso serían las AMD Firepro D700.

Are the V2 processors new ones that didn’t come with the originals?

Not sure if they were with the original 2013 wave but definitely with the second apple wave, so they are the same Apple would have mounted. The v3 are not compatible tho (up to 16 core) everymac.com/systems/apple/mac_pro/mac-pro-cylinder-faq/how-to-upgrade-mac-pro-cylinder-cpu-processor.html

Are you able to able to run a scaled 4k60 dipslay with this @60hz and 3008x1692 via Display port cable?

[@ShadesOfTech]

This is a very specific question. There are definitely some scaled resolution. If you want to see all of them you just need to press alt and then click on scaled and you will see all the scaled resolutions, even the ones not optimised. If this doesn’t work you can use an app called switch res x that allows to trigger any resolution or framerate you want. Back to your question you can select 3008x1692 at 60hz and it’s actually the one I use with my Mac and one of the 4 suggested by apple so you should be safe and sound. But ultimately it’s up to you Mac gpu the resolution it can drive

[@maxnguyen2875]

Shades of Tech and it’s smooth?

[@ShadesOfTech]

@@maxnguyen2875 Yeah definitely smooth. As I say I use it everyday as my favourite resolution. What Mac do you have?

[@maxnguyen2875]

Shades of Tech currently I have a 2018 Mac mini and I needed an egpu to make the hi smooth. I got a 2013 Mac Pro 6core/32gb ram/d300 yesterday off eBay. I won’t get it for a couple weeks. But I wanted to make sure macos is still smooth on 32”4k display @60hz and scaled 3008x1692

[@ShadesOfTech]

Yeah I didn’t have any problems with my Mac Pro with D300 as well so you can be safe and sound! The Mac mini doesn’t have an internal gpu so it’s pretty natural that it can’t run smooth 4k display

Is the GPU upgradeable? I can get my hands on a 6 core but it has d300 graphics

[@ShadesOfTech]

No you don’t want to upgrade the gpu. I bought an egpu and mounted the amd rx 5700 xt and is a bomb!

[@RareMade]

Shades of Tech is the d300 dual gpu okay for photoshop, illustrator, premiere, after effects and maybe blender? the computer has a 6 core Xeon and 45gb of ram I believe. Also do you have a video on your gpu?

[@ShadesOfTech]

It yet I am working on it. Not sure if those applications are gpu intensive, probably only blender. The rest should be only cpu intensive and you can still upgrade to the 12 core cpu

[@jeffstack4217]

You need to work on your editing bro! The audio levels are WAAAY to high and your vocals are WAAAY too low. Constantly turning volume up and down. You even overlap the vocals and audio in certain spots... need to bail on this video.. Nice try though.

Greetings from Ecuador Excellent information, I have a question, how much maximum RAM can I put in a MAC PRO LATE 2013, Processed: 3.5 GHZ 6-COre Intel Xenon E6, AMD Firepro D500 3072MB, I use it for video editing and the redeemers are very delayed at the moment I have 16 RAM Regards

[@ShadesOfTech]

Hi! You can put a maximum of 128 gb but will run at lower speed. My suggestions for video editing since I use myself for the same purpose it at least 32 gb. If you use FCPx it would be enough, otherwise I would go to 48 gb. 64 will be overkill

[@bryanherrera6]

[@ShadesOfTech]

I used the ones from OWC because I had problems with eBay sellers that sold me non compatible ones. I would suggest you to switch to FCPx or davinci because they take more advantage of the gpu since you have the d500. I know is a complete change but performance are much better.
