iMac Pro 2017 SSD has a T2 chip controlling two flash modules. Those modules are compatible with the modules used in Mac Pro 2019. So you can buy Mac Pro 2019 SSD kit to be used in your iMac Pro. First you need to use some tool to open the computer case. Note that after you separate the screen panel from the body, behind the display there are still cables connecting to motherboard. So remember not to separate the display panel too far away from the body otherwise you will break those cables. Then you need to disconnect a bunch...

Based on hackintosh forum (https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/success-gigabyte-designare-z390-thunderbolt-3-i7-9700k-amd-rx-580.316533/?fbclid=IwAR2vOn56Vh5qXd2eIS4I0fPXtD6iHKmP6xrEkP2x4Ye0kdizoUO5br9NTIo), the devices below are confirmed to be working. Note that they are tested on hackintosh, not Mac Pro. So they may still not work with Mac Pro.

Mac Pro 6,1 can work with max 128GB DDR3 ECC memories. We sold lots of those memories. We do extensive testing before we ship each set. It's not practical to test every set using a real Mac Pro. Mac Pro is expensive and shouldn't be used as testing device too often. So what shall we do? Actually, instead of testing memories on real Mac Pro, we test it on a PC board. The most compatible motherboard for such memories is Intel x79 boards. We build a PC on such motherboard and run Mac OS on it. Once Mac OS can...

TITAN RIDGE VS ALPINE RIDGE Alpine Ridge: The Alpine Ridge uses Intel chipset DSL6540, and the video links are negotiated at DisplayPort 1.2 speeds and sent down over either HDMI 1.4 or Thunderbolt 3.  The manual states to officially allow for a maximum resolution of 4K 24Hz over the HDMI port, but the Thunderbolt ports allow for up to 4K 60Hz (a single 5K Thunderbolt display can allegedly work on the Alpine Ridge as well).  Only bus power is provided with the Alpine Ridge unfortunately and the card is supplied with a total of 38W, which allows you to power...

There are multiple choices for upgrading the CPU of Mac Pro late 2013 6,1. Here is a list of them and my opinions on them: * e5-2697 v2 -- 2.7GHz 12-core. Best multi-core performance. Most expensive. * e5-2696 v2 -- 2.5GHz 12-core. Fairly good multi-core performance. Much cheaper. * e5-2690 v2 -- 3.0GHz 10-core. Good single core performance and multi-core performance. Little bit expensive. * e5-2687w v2 -- 3.4Ghz 8-core. Best single core performance and good multi-core performance. Little bit expensive.
