Is MAC Pro (late 2013) compatible with Intel E5 or E7 Series 10 core CPU

Is MAC Pro (late 2013) compatible with Intel E5 or E7 series 10 core CPU?

http://macperformanceguide.com/MacPro2013-CPU-upgrade.html
Someone did some testing and these Xeon processors scale differently, turbo-boost means it can put a core to sleep when it isn't needed and give more to the cores that are.
But, the number of apps that do use more than 8-core are in short supply.
Then there is the contention between cooling and whether the cpu or the twin GPUs get preference, OS X won't allow both to ask for full 100%.
We assume you know all there is about cpu scaling and usage and just need to see which ones are on Intel's list that are pin compatible and have the right thermal requirements and such.
Fall is always IDF and v3 of the E5

  • Mac Pro late 2013 mouse and keyboard

    Today I receive my new Mac Pro late 2013. With my big surprise is without mouse and keyboard.
    Which keyboard and mouse I have to buy?
    Cable or wireless?
    How and where connect?
    I also see in the online store there is only cable keyboard USB 2 but the Mac Pro have only USB 3 ports.
    Please help me. I'm very frustrated. I have this new fantastic computer  front me and I can't do nothing.

  • My Mac Pro (Late 2013) with an Apple SSD as the only storage will not restart

    I have a Mac Pro (Late 2013) with an APPLE SSD SM0256F as the only storage.  When I restart all I get is the spinning bars. I have to manually hold the power button down to force shutdown. I have let it try to restart for as long as 30 minutes. It will start just fine from a shutdown.  I am running Yosemite 10.10.2 (14C1510). I have used Disk Utility with no errors. The only time I need to restart is after a system upgrade. I have tried, as others have suggested, selecting the drive from the Startup Drive preferences with no difference. Any help is much appreciated!

  • Running 4 screens as one with Mac Pro Late 2013

    Hello there, got a Mac Pro late 2013 edition driving 4 60" 1080P screens in a 2x2 configuration.  Trying to make those work as one 4k display.  Was able to get it working to allow us to display a page across all 4 displays.  But have not been able to get a video to display across all 4.  Our current  configuration has also been very finnicky and anytime we move the webpage around, it snaps the window to be full screen across the bottem two displays. 
    Anyone have any idea's as to how to make this work the way we are wanting to?

    "Fullscreen" is a garbage feature ported from IOS and the iPhone, the land of tiny screens and one-at-a-time processing -- AVOID it at all costs.
    This will work as long as you stretch a Window across multiple screens, and turn OFF all hints that you want multiple, independent screens.
    This describes the new ways Mavericks tries to undercut the way it used to work:

  • Mac Pro Late 2013 Cubase 8 Problems

    Hello
    I'm currently running Yosemite on the late 2013 Mac Pro.
    I'm having major issues with Cubase 8.
    When i select my Virus TI Channel, the whole program crashes. Sometimes it just randomly crashes.
    Also, vst2 plugins are really laggy, and i can't figure out the problem, vst3 is fine. happens on 32bit and 64 bit version of cubase.
    I tried reinstalling everything (including a clean OSX) but didn't help.
    Back on mavericks i also had the VST2 laggy problem, but i had no problems with the virus ti at all.
    I can't continue any of my projects now because it's just crashing when selecting the virus ti channel. (It does in empty projects aswel)
    I tried different virus ti drivers, but that doesn't help at all. I know people that are using cubase 8 on yosemite with the virus and they have no problems, so i'm pretty sure it's not because of that.
    Sometimes when i'm on skype for example, it freezes. when i quit it and try to reopen it the icon just keeps jumping in the dock. This also happened with chrome and twitter a few times, maybe the problems are connected with eachother? i don't know, just giving as much information as i can, because i really want this fixed. Cubase is showing crashlogs after it crashes but i can't figure out what it means.
    Today i saw something in the crashlog about my graphicscard (2x AMD FirePro D300) could this mean something?
    Anyone that could help me out here please? cause i've no idea what else to do.
    Oh btw, i tried studio one aswel, the VST2 Lag problem is also happening in there.
    My setup -
    Mac Pro Late 2013
    OSX Yosemite
    12 GB Ram
    Quad-Core Intel Xeon E5
    2x AMD FirePro D300
    Cubase 8

    MOTU 828 MK3 Hybrid
    Greets!

    I was using a hub, so I immediately removed that upon the first issues.  But the USB has still frozen after the removal of the hub. The HD is a self powered G-Tech drive.  I'll have to play around a bit more will all of your suggestions this weekend.
    I woke up the computer just now to check the discussion, an am greeted with a notification from Mavericks that the "Disk Not Ejected Properly. (Eject disk before disconnecting or turning it off)"  which the disk is still connected, and the usb seems to still work fine.  In fact I was able to unplug the USB cable for the G-Tech HD, and then replug it in, everything reappeared fine.  The USB bus was not frozen (this time).
    But it's this kind of flakiness that has me coming and going.  I haven't (yet) been able to identify whether the USB is the problem or the driver or a third thing I haven't figured out...

  • Mac Pro (Late 2013) random improper shotdowns

    My Mac Pro (Late 2013) running OS 10.10.3 has been experiencing intermittent shut downs and memory showing as less than installed. At times it shows me the full 64 GB installed, at time less, 2 slots empty, sometimes one.
    Model Name: Mac Pro
    Processor Name: 12-Core Intel Xeon E5
    Processor Speed: 2.7 GHz
    Memory: 64 GB
    My Bluetooth has been also problematic lately. Continued disconnection of both my wireless mouse and keyboard.
    I have gone through diagnostics and found no issues. I did also reset System Management Controller.
    Please help!
    A million thanks in advance!
    Adolph

    I might have seen that one before here.
    Is it always the same location that is not showing?
    If so try interchanging that stick with another one.
    If it follows the stick that indicates a problem with that stick.
    If it remains with the slot that means a hardware problem with the Mac. I would look at the slot with good lighting and magnifying device to look for abnormalities,
    If a hardware problem with the Mac then make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Mac pro (late 2013), Dell UP2414Q and windows8.1 bootcamp

    I bought mac pro (late 2013) and Dell UP2414Q.
    Monitor is set on DP1.2 and works normally in OS X. I get 4K@60Hz, I can switch to lower resolutions like 1920x1080 and it works.
    Then I Installed windwos 8.1 which I need for some testing and I have aproblem here:
    When DP 1.2 is enabled, and I switch to 1920x1080 resolution, I get 2 pictures on screen squeezed together - totally useless and I can't work on that.
    If I disable DP 1.2 and revert on monitor to DP 1.1 it works normally. But I switch to 4K with only DP1.1 enabled I can get only 30Hz out.
    As it seems under OS X I can use any resolution with DP 1.2 enabled, but not in windows 8.1 via bootcamp.
    I would really really love to get this working, I tried next things, but nothing worked:
    -update bootcamp support
    -update AMD gpu drivers from their web page
    I already wrote on Dell forum and I got redirected here on apple forums.

    which model  rMBP 13"  or rMBP 15"
    the 13 will support it with the latest intel drivers.
    the 15 will support it with the latest nvidia drivers.
    i have both models and both are working correctly.

  • Strange Mac Pro (late 2013) Wake Up Problem

    I used chrome browser on my Mac Pro last night and watched some YouTube videos. I stopped the video and put the computer in sleep mode without closing the chrome browser. Today, I tried to wake up the computer and something strange happened.
    The Mac Pro appeared to be on because the YouTube video started to play. However, the sound only came out of its internal speaker and the two monitors were not awake. I could not login at all and had to do a hard shut down by pressing the power button for a few seconds.
    Has anyone had the similar problem also? I contacted Apple Care and they asked me to do the usual SMC and PRAM resets, as well as booting into safe mode and then in normal mode.
    This is the replacement Mac Pro already. The first one had boot problems when two monitors were connected. I took it to an Apple Store and a specialist examined it. He then talked to his team lead and both of them suggested I should return the Mac Pro ASAP. I saw some other user on this Forum had the same problem as well.

    I just wanted to weigh in with my personal experience with Apple over the past 30-odd years. We are a small business and cannot afford a lot of tech support. However, like most businesses these days, you cannot survive for long without technology. We have had PCs and Macs over the years and have become 99.9% Mac run. I do not have issues with reliability with our Macs, which have performed in most cases flawlessly over the course of the last 10 years (prior experience was more problematic - in days prior to OS X and Intel). I have had many many PC issues even with a smaller subset of units. But I do not feel that my experience one way or the other is not demonstrative of either platform on a broad scale. My experience, like yours, is anecdotal at best. I am not doubting your experience with your Macs. I am doubtful that everyone experiences this. 
    So over all, my experience with our current crop  of 30 Macs from laptops to xserves is that they are extremely reliable, with very few, if any, crashes. Which is not to say we don't experience problems from time to time: hard drives fail, power supplies give out, RAM fails, and a myriad of other user-sourced issues all have happened. But the overall experience is that I can get 6-7 years of heavy use from our Macs, and 3-4 from our PCs. Each have their issues. But all technologies fail ultimately. I expect that. I find it equally hard to believe you did not have any issues with 12 years of PCs. But once again, my own experience is anecdotal and not conclusive. Which is why I try to refrain from painting either platform with a broad brush. I am grateful we have choices and that each of us can find what works for us.
    I hope your experience improves and wish you luck in solving your current issues. BTW, I have found Apple Tech Support to be extremely helpful when we do have problems and I avail myself of their expertise freely. I am fortunate to live close to a thriving Apple Store with some really dedicated staff. One last thought, we just purchased a new Mac Pro (late 2013) model as well. It is a dream machine for us: powerful, fast, quiet and easy to configure. We are very happy with it!

  • HT5918 Mac Pro (Late 2013) Dual monitors freeze on startup?

    I've got 2 monitors, 1 HDMI and 1 MiniDisplayPort/DVI into Thunderbolt, and the computer can't start, it crashes during the boot process. The main screen freezes just as the login comes up, the MDP screen is scrambled, and the mouse cursor is a spinning pizza.
    The only solution so far is to remove the MDP cable during startup, but that is a dealbreaker because dual monitors is the sole reason I bought this, and c'mon it's a really expensive computer -- even my old MacBook could handle 2 monitors!
    Any insights or solutions appreciated.

    Have you tried another cable and adapter?
    Try another DVI monitor to help determine the cause
    Are you using a Thunderbolt port not shared with the HDMI port?

  • Best scratch disk setup on a Mac Pro (Late 2013)

    Hello Adobe team,
    We've a new Mac Pro in the studio and we're looking forward to know the best configuration for a 4k RED footage editing and color grading workflow.
    We plan to add a Pegasus2 R4 on RAID 5 as a main WIP hard drive, but we still don't know if we'll need to add a extra hard drive just for scratch tasks...
    Thanks in advance for your feedback,
    Regards,
    Luis.
    Configuration:
    Mac Pro (Late 2013)
    OS X 10.10.1 (14B25)
    3,5 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon E5
    32 GB 1866 MHz DDR3 ECC
    AMD FirePro D700 6144 MB

    No you do not need a scratch drive with the R4. Just put the cache files on that.

  • Mac Pro (Late 2013) OSX abnormally slow

    Hi,
    I'm not sure why but my OSX is running much slower then before, weird thing is I don't even install many softwares in it. Below is the description of the issues I'm facing.
    Beach ball frenzy, lots of things ended up with beach balls from switching back and forth between apps (safari and cad). Within app itself, safari freezes occasionally and then whatever I click during that time period (like opening a new tab, links in the page) will suddenly open and this goes on with other apps as well, even finder takes a few seconds to show the content.
    Start up time : 14.2 sec
    Waiting for shut down menu to appear : 15 secs
    Click shut down: forever (monitor goes to sleep after 10 minutes of inactivity, but computer is not turned off)
    Previously, whenever software update requires restart, os will just hang and give a grey screen error, this will cause my computer to be in a boot loop where turning off will show the same error as well. Only way I find out is to open in safe boot, apply update and all goes to normal but it seems the problem is not solved cause now my OS just doesn't work properly. 
    Oddly enough, I got no problem installing Yosemite.
    I don't think it's hardware problem cause right now my windows 8 partition is running much faster then OSX. Oh the irony

  • Premiere Pro CC crashing on brand new Mac Pro (late 2013)

    Such a big disappointment, yesterday our brand new Mac Pro (Late 2013) with OS X version 10.10.2 was installed and Premiere Pro CC is constantly crashing. One of the problems is that when I open a brand new project and before I add any content to a new sequence I just want to position the video track higher so I can see more audio tracks, the program crashed. I did it several times (new projects, new sequences) every time the same crashing program.
    Deinstalled Premiere Pro and reinstalled it again, but no luck.
    Tomorrow I created a whole new account with administrator rights on the Mac, the issue as described above was gone but at some point in time the program crashed again, and when I reopen the project, with two sequences open (one with footage and one empty) and I want to close the empty one, Premiere is crashing again. So I can't continue my work on this project and need to start over again....
    This is the error report that I'm getting....
    I hope somebody can help me on this because it's very frustrating...
    Thanks in advance

  • Can iMac 27 late 2009 enter TDM connected to a Mac Pro late 2013?

    I'm trying to get an iMac 27 late 2009 to enter target display mode when connected to a Mac Pro late 2013.
    I tried with Apple's Thunderbolt cable and pressing Command + F2 on the iMac did nothing.
    So I bought a Mini DisplayPort cable, and now Command + F2 makes the iMac's screen turn black for a second and then back.
    After rebooting, before logging in, if I press Command + F2 it actually works for about 2 seconds and then back to the iMac's screen. After this, if I keep trying it just flashes black.
    So, my question is, has anyone managed to connect this two devices?
    Should I buy another cable? Format the iMac? Any suggestions?
    Thanks for the help.
    OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 on both machines.

    Thanks for your help.
    I don't know what more I can add to the initial post.
    The second Mini DisplayPort cable that I tried is Belkin, I don't think there are better cables for this, since Apple is not selling it anymore.
    I did mentioned that if I restart the iMac, before logging in with any user, pressing command + F2 or simply connecting the cable will actually work, it shows up as a second display on the Mac Pro, I can move the mouse pointer on the iMac. But after about 2 seconds the iMac exits Target Display Mode, and after this pressing Command + F2 will only turn iMac's monitor black for about a second and not entering TDM anymore.
    I even checked the firmware versions and both are up to date according to this.

  • Mac Pro (Late 2013), Photoshop CC stamp tools and Yosemite Problems

    Lately when I'm using the the stamp tool in Photoshop CC after a few clicks I hear a short "click click" out of the Mac Pro Late 2013 when then goes on to freeze
    my keyboard and basically makes it useless. I then have to save the photo by clicking in the menu bar, restart the computer which clears the problem. I'm using a Wacom Intuos Pro and thought it could the problem but I tried it also with a normal usb mouth clicking on an image and get the same results. What is this "click click" noise because as soon as I hear that I know that the Mac Pro is going to freeze.........anyone else having any Photoshop problems?

    I've not tried exporting with Premiere but with After Effects on my identical Mac Pro also using istat menus, I rarely if ever see the 2nd GPU spin up. I'm exporting right now for example and:
    makes me wonder if this is infact an issue with Istat menus or if the 2nd gpu really isnt being utilized.
