Mac Pro 6,1 GPU Upgrade : How to repair defective GPU issue on A1481

[@justinbell1265]

Will you ever upgrade a laptop from 16 to 32gb of ram

[@miguelsierra8168]

I have a similar mac, but it does not detect Slot 1 card. Can I exchange the cards? (Slot1/Slot2) to rule out damage to the flex or connector?

I have the basic model macpro 2013 with D300 GPU's, i use it for gaming on windows via bootcamp. If i could find a D700 gpu which side should i change A or B.? Can you have just one gpu installed?

Hi I have early 2015 MacBook Pro I want to upgrade i5 to i7 I don’t have any idea

[@evilpanda809]

hello, how do you look for the gpu? with what name or specifications?

[@blueboyfm3yk]

where did u get the gpu at

[@wezwezzo]

Thank you so much for the video, was very insightful. Please can you give the chip model working for searching on ebay and google?

[@gabrielecarbone8235]

can you maybe modify the vBios to undervolt the gpu and underclock it slightly in order to reduce the amount of stress on the chip? it works on iMac 4xxx to 6xxx gpus

@@UC9OfisUXej83k1TAK485wmw Can you provide sources/references for this vBios mod?

[@merion297]

Is it possible to use one GPU card only?

[@StHabibiJohnsonAhmedFranklin]

Thank you for this!

[@jangerhard4039]

Where to buy the replacement GPU?

[@iBoffRCC]

ebay

[@juanjavierhernandez7771]

Hello. I am trying to reball the chip but I can not find the correct stencil. By any chance do you know what is the stencil to use? Or do you have the part number of the GPU replacement? Mine says "215-0854045" but I cant fin anything. Thanks!

[@Markingkey]

can you share a link where to get the gpu chip?

[@ehe661]

I don't think you can buy that. You should use one if you already have one. You may find something on eBay as well.

Ive been digging thru the depths of the internet trying to find and answer, with no luck. Maybe you can be a beacon of light. I updated mac os on my mac pro 6.1 a week ago, it was fine for several days. One day I did some video editing, rendered off a video and later in the night shut down as normal. When I booted back up the next day, no signal from HDMI on my monitor. Tried diff cables and even plugged in an old mac LED monitor via mini display port, with nothing. So either its a software/driver issue, but how am I supposed to even reformat a mac without seeing the screen? or the GPU has incidentally failed. If you have any words of wisdom on what to try or do, I would be eternally grateful. Cheers Lonesome Dog

[@iBoffRCC]

Hi there! yes you are suspected to have a bad GPU, because youre not having any display showing through the TBT ports/HDMI. temporary fix would be putting the GPU inside the oven or reflow the GPU chip as we did on 2:45

[@MrAgdfgfg]

How did you reball new chip? What did you use for it?

[@iBoffRCC]

for this one reball using hands

[@INVESTAPARIS]

my mp the ssd is left side of front paneau, why yours is on right side?

[@iBoffRCC]

Hi, are you sure?

[@INVESTAPARIS]

@@iBoffRCC i'm a professional for years, you can google macpassion, i've sold hundreds of this model, all in the left side, i beleive its the apple factory original built

[@INVESTAPARIS]

or you can check on ifixit

[@iBoffRCC]

@@INVESTAPARIS www.ifixit.com/Guide/Mac+Pro+Late+2013+SSD+Replacement/21205 check it here. SSD is on the right side.

[@crushneckzs]

Can i by passy the gpu and use an external gpu instead?

[@iBoffRCC]

we are on the way to produce it. stay tune

[@Mr_ToR]

You need to do a compute benchmark otherwise you cant tell if the GPU is faulty or not. It seems to work fine until the OS makes a compute request. The faulty GPU will work fine forever if compute is not requested at all but if its faulty, the computer will crash when compute is requested. This is totally irrelevant to CPU operations or 2D GFX.

great...
