소개
이 안내서를 참고하여 Mac Pro의 그래픽 카드 두 개를 모두 교체하세요. 안내서에서는 한 개의 교체 만을 설명하고 있으나, 나머지 하나의 교체 방법도 동일합니다.
만약 그래픽 카드를 교체하는 경우 서멀 그리스를 다시 발라야 합니다.
Mac Pro에서 어떠한 작업이든 시작하기 전에: 전원 선을 뽑고, 전원 버튼을 10초 이상 눌러서 전원 공급 장치의 캐패시터를 방전시켜 주세요.
전원 공급 장치 뒷면에 노출된 납땜 연결부나 캐퍼시터 부분을 만지지 않도록 매우 조심하세요. 전원 공급 장치는 기판의 가장자리 만을 잡아서 옮겨주세요.

팬 어셈블리의 바깥 둘레에 있는 5.1mm T10 Torx 나사 다섯 개를 풀어주세요.
Fat Mango is correct. That said. If you do pull the fan assembly note that the screws are all held in with blue Permatex and breaking them free takes a fair amount of effort. Getting a good set of Torx screwdrivers is a must.

Hey guys, what would happen if you only replace one card.. I have a D300 but the plan is to upgrade to D500 or D600. So If I can afford and install one instead of the pair would it increase something? or will it cause any conflict? I guess I don’t understand if I the Mac Pro has 2 D300 graphic cards that means each has 1GB? Same as If I would Install 1 D600 that would increase 3GB only? Thanks.
D300 = 2GB each card. Very few apps uses two cards at the same time.

한 손으로 팬 어셈블리를 받치면서 팬 케이블 브래킷에서 T8 고정 나사 두 개를 풀어주세요.
On my machine, a TR7 worked to remove them due to the weird angle.

GPU를 Mac Pro에 고정하는 6.6mm TR8 Torx Security 나사 두 개를 풀어주세요.
These two screws require a T9H screwdriver with the H being a hole in the center otherwise you will not be able to remove the screws.
Be mindful of the 2 washers per screw
Short story: Theses two screws are EXTREMELY important to avoid erratic kernel panics. On both GRX-Units these MUST sit tight.
Long version: Over one (1) Year I had kernel panics and spontaneous losses graphics-output on my fully equipped MP6,1 - my main professional music workstation. Only by chance I stumbled over a youtube video that suggested to renew therma paste in case of the experienced issues. When following this guide, I found these two screws of GFX-card 2 completely loose. One of them was already browned by the high currents, that tried to managed their way from PSU to GFX Unit 2. After tightening these two screws (and of course renewing the thermal paste...) I experienced the machine running flawlessly.
The MP6,.1 does need some care from time to time - I recommend removing visible dust AND checking the screws on their tight fit.

hey! is it possible to upgrade the GPU or is this just for replacing exactly the same part?
I am guessing you can upgrade them with OEM parts, but where would we find them?
Yes. I recently swapped out D300 pairs for D700 pairs without a blip. I did an NVRAM reset afterwards just to be safe.
I have the D300s, and would like to upgrade to the D500s or D700s. Where might I find the replacement graphics cards? Also, any recommendations on service providers who would do this procedure?
I'd love to know this as well. The only reason I picked up the ,ad pro was the potential for upgrades. As it turns out D300s are crap. I can't even run boot camp properly.
Is it possible to put Nividia cards in?
If you get a similar card whit the same Conector Yes, but well, theres no cards like that

Did you check if your wiring is faulty? Just plug in a UPS if it comes with a ground fault indicator. I fried my Mac Pro 2013 on a line that ended up having a ground fault. After fixing the building's wiring I have had zero issues with the replacement Apple sent me. I always power it through the UPS now.

So I have a Mac Pro6,1. Found out that the D300 boards are not covered under the Repair Extension program that Apple quietly instituted due to all the problems. I had the D300's replaced under warranty within the first 6 months, now they have gone out and I'm controlling my Pro via Screen Share on my MacBook. I'd like to replace them with some other aftermarket option. Any recommendations?
Your GPU fried? I had a similar issue and absurdly traced it all back to just faulty wiring. Buy a UPS, make sure it comes with a ground fault indicator. Check if the wiring is faulty. Let me know if that is the issue. I got my UPS for about 70 dollars. Always power all of your expensive computer equipment through a UPS it conditions the signal and protects it from surges and brownouts it will increase the lifetime of your equipment.

PCI Express is a private standard. To even get a legal copy of the specification you have to be a paid member of PCI-SIG. Membership costs $4,000 every year. You could try and find a schematic for the Mac Pro 2013 to figure out what the pinout is for the proprietary GPU connector but even knowing the full pinout and what each pin is for it still won't make sense unless you have the spec for the PCI Express standard. That would be the only way to make your own adapter cable to convert the proprietary connector to standard PCI Express. This is why no 3rd party option is currently available. It is a huge R&D effort that costs thousands of dollars JUST to whip up an adaptor cable.
where is the GPU Riser Board??
Anyone know the thickness of the thermal pads that cover the VRAM or any other specs on the pads? Given my machine is quite aged by now, i’m sure that those pads will be brittle when I take it apart… Any suggestions on what to replace them with? I know apple sells them but they are seriously overpriced (and apart from that very hard to get).
Did you find thickness of thermal pads?
If you find it please tell that thickness.
Thank you

There is no need to remove the Top to swap GPU cards. Leaving the Top on eliminated the fan retainer and wireless antenna work.
Is it possible to have two cards of different reference? for example a D700 in slot A and a D500 in slot B?
