This video is a brief overview of what went into installing the iBoff X-GPU project into an A1297 MacBook Pro.

    Good evening, I'm looking to buy one of this Mac Pro 5.1 from 2012 to use in a virtualization homelab and I would like to know if anyone has managed to use more than the memory reported by Apple, I imagine that according to them this machine supports up to 8 x 32GB... which would be 256 with a dual processor, with each 6-core processor of this generation individually supporting 288GB... so could it be viable to use 8 x 64GB to run Proxmox or Nutanix? thanks...

    • @spottedtango
      @spottedtango 3 місяці тому

      sure, but in this usecase it would be hard to justify. unless you're getting it for free, a true blade or workstation from the first gen core series or it's xeon counterpart can be had much cheaper than a macpro 5,1 with better aftermarket support meanwhile using the same generation of hardware. For the same typical price you could also get newer, faster hardware in those form factors. possibly something from LGA2011 X99/E5-V3/4 or X299/LGA2066

    I flashed moded 5 iPod minis and I would say get Samsung cards if you want the most storage. For a 256GB card, Samsung gives you 239GB shown in the iPod, SanDisk gives you 238GB, and non NAND flash manufacturer brands will likely only give you 233GB, including Lexar. That 5 more gigabytes are not that important to me, because the iPods cannot play or store losses(losses would be converted to mp3 when you sync it to the iPod). The best we could get, 320k MP3 files, are not likely gonna fill the full storage before hitting the 25000 sounds barrier.

      you might think that but exFAT didn't exist when most iPods were made. I guarantee your iPods are formatted fat 32.

    Had a custom job from him that was defective out of the box, screen went white when menu button was pressed. The faceplate also did not align correctly, and there was a plastic chunk under the faceplate screen area. I tried to RMA it, but he sent it right back in my box unopened. Return period exceeded. I am overseas (in american territory) therefore batteries can't be air mailed, they take the slow boat. The entire return period was just me waiting for delivery. I eventually opened it up to fix and here's what I found. -Display PCB was missing an insulating layer causing the whiteout issue. Major wtf, metal-metal contact with tarkan board -Wrong screws used on 30 pin fascia causing faceplate to be misaligned. From the bottom of an iphone 3g or something -Headphone jack assy missing one of the screw holes, broken off. Held on by one screw. Also the wrong version of a logic board.

      @spottedtango 10 місяців тому

      Afaik those are not much different from the rest of the line, barring the hand-dyed transparent faceplate. I have and am running an atomic faceplate as we speak. it's a solid product at a small premium over other aftermarket faceplates, the option is nice if the aesthetic appeals to you. Again, EOE is a retailer. Most of the products there can be obtained elsewhere, but I still shop there myself for the convenience of one-stop and one-ship to most people who build for others, it's very much worth the extra $20-50 to save 1-3? months of overseas. Plus you get a good warranty. Full disclosure, I actually moderate for EoE in their discord, for whatever bias that's worth. I also am not infallible, so make your own judgement.

    I managed to install and boot Monterey(v12.7.2) on my Asus 4xNVME with a 512 Gb NVme M2 card. 😃

    You say "I really recommend dual booting between Mojave, because it's the latest natively supported operating system and an open core OS of your choice, this is because open core won't boot Mojave or anything lower. That means that in the event where you need to troubleshoot something because you have a dead drive you'll need to be able to boot those older os's, and without boot screen support you won't be able to deselect the EFI boot…" Okay, I'm confused. You say you recommend booting between Mojave and open core OS of choice, but then you say open core won't boot Mojave or anything lower.

      Yeah, OpenCore is a boot loader. You select it as a boot option from the native Mac bootloader. You can also select a regular and supported version of macOS as opposed to OpenCore from the native Mac bootloader as long as: the Mac natively supports the os and the mac has proper graphics support in the form of a flashed card or flashed bootROM. You would do so by holding Option/Alt on power on.
