I've benchmarked before. Slot 2 and 3 definitely not giving me the correct result.
Only 4 can yield the targeted speed.

Hahaha... I didn't pre-order bro.
Might try if I can sell off my old hardware.

Time to order for more!


Glad that the packaging looks good. I was worrying that they didn't pack well. Anyone want a 4,1 or 5,1 with Dual CPU? Or even some the ultra rare Powermac G5 Quad core can contact me.

Delidded these babies. Took me less than 5 minutes. Super easy with a good old vice and daddy tips on how to torque a vice.

Now to get my wifi card, so I can update to 5,1 and then have these babies booting!

Mac Pro 4,1 Upgrade Adventure Stage 4 – Follow up for WIFI AC + Bluetooth 4.0


Follow up to the Mac Pro 4,1 Upgrade Adventure Stage 3. I’ve tried to order a few more units for some friends in Facebook MacProUpgrade Group, Facebook Mac Pro Malaysia Owners Group and Lowyat Forum Mac Pro Thread.

I’ve tried to make some adjustments to the module by requesting the factory to provide me a version that I can stick the bluetooth module on the aluminium casing. However, that didn’t turn out right as the bluetooth signal is the weakest. So I’ve ordered the factory to send me some replacement bluetooth module to rectify the issues with the last orders.

The factory sent me the new set of bluetooth module which is different from my previous post. So I’ve made a youtube video to show case the steps to install the new bluetooth module. Here’s the images for those who prefers to read.

Hey, just wondering are you selling any extra 16gb sticks?

Quick question, should I jump the gun on a dual processor tray for almost 1.2k? Is it really worth it?

Sorry for late reply.

Well... I would have said it's worth it for it's price. You get something literally the same as Ryzen 5 in terms of performance.

If you don't bother the trouble, just get a Ryzen 5 and hackintosh it. However, Hackintosh can never be as stable as the real deal.

I don't have any extra 16GB rams at the moment. Sorry.

Where did u bought the Mac Pro 5,1?

I found Mac Pros from Carousell and Facebook Marketplace bro.

Managed to breathe new life with Mac OS X Catalina 10.15.4 without hiccups mate on the bad boy?

Opencore? Dosdude?

Dosdude, but I have boot problems, need to apply post-install every single time after restart/shutdown. Have you personally tried Opencore to manage boot screen on a card without boot EFI?

yet to try opencore, currently using dosdude patch on catalina 10.15.2 with rx580. Any specific reason why u need the bootscreen?

Without the boot screen, that means I need to do software updates/installs by removing the SSD and attach it to my Mac Book Pro, every single time. Hard work.

I have not tried on Mac Pro but tried it on Macbook 2010. I can boot normally but just once in a while need to repatch the Dosdude1 patch. Not quite sure of the problem you have. Just wondering whether you've applied all of the firmware patch before you try Dosdude1?

There were patch needed to make 4,1 to 5,1 then another patch for Mojave firmware upgrade to support NVME SSD. Not quite sure whether that's the reason.
