I'd call it a cooling problem, as I'm not seeing this in
an air conditioned room with the computers on the floor,
where the ambient temperature is lowest (not that we did
that for this reason, though). Also, rendering 4k video
is definitely going to heat up the graphics processor..

So, the quality is not then declining?
Heh.

Considering that radical new designs often need tweaking to work out problems that arise with edge cases, I usually try to wait for a few revisions to be made before I invest in such hardware. Sometimes I'm able to wait things out; other times I bite the bullet with the level-headed understanding that I may encounter issues that the designer did not intend and that may naturally take time to solve. Walking on the cutting edge can result in lacerations. : ) Of the people I know with the new Mac Pro, most of them have few issues with their units. Meanwhile, the haters like to latch onto complaints from vocal minorities so they can act as if those complaints apply to everyone. >> Apple's had GPU problems in lots of Mac models historically. > > So, the quality is not then declining? > > Heh. ; ) -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter.

Processors have an inverse linear relationship between operating
temperature and speed with a factor of 0.85 MHz per degree C.
That's not much compared to today's speeds, but were something
running close to the edge, and allowed to heat up, things like
the scrambled video in the cited screen shots can happen. I've
had my share of other heat-related electronic problems, when the
air conditioning dies and people want to keep working, but not
yet with the new Mac Pros.

Definitely. I've seen it happen with several different machines I've owned in the past. And I've made it happen by overclocking GPUs - natch! > I've had my share of other heat-related electronic problems, when the > air conditioning dies and people want to keep working, but not yet > with the new Mac Pros. Good to hear. I'm trying to get as much life out of my 2008 Mac Pro as I can before I eBay it and get a new one - hopefully after Apple makes some revisions to the model. I'm still very satisfied with the speed of this machine. I just wish it didn't consume so much energy and double as a heater in the summers. : ) -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter. I often ignore posts from Google.

The new MacPro has a huge design problem in this area, drawing dust from the floor and throwing it up. Airflow should be from top to bottom if you insist on having a vent at the bottom. What this means is that dust bunnies will be born inside the machine hampeing airflow over some parts that could be temperature sensitive. The old MacPro had air intake several inches above the floor. On a desk however (probably where Jony Ive figured his prized museum work of art would be displayed), dust should not be a problem.

The new Pro is small enough that there is no need to put it on the
floor. A desk corner or shelf would be fine and allow more convenient
access to the USB/TB ports - esp. since most "working" storage for large
projects will be outside of the unit.

You just don't get it, Alan. It *must* be placed on JF's floor, because that's the only way his stupid little troll works! > A desk corner or shelf would be fine and allow more convenient > access to the USB/TB ports - esp. since most "working" storage for large > projects will be outside of the unit. That's where mine would go. Right beside my monitor. No reason to put it on the floor making the ports harder to reach when it takes so little desk space. Well, there's one reason: so JF can troll about it here. ; ) -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter. I often ignore posts from Google.

But then you need to consider all the peripherals you need attached to the MacPro which no longer has the space to hold them (disk drives, optical readers etc). Yes, you'll argue that Apple's marketing examples all show setups where there are no such peripherals attached. But in real life, I suspect that is not the case, and it would explain Tim Cook stating the MacPro sales are very low.

JF seems to be claiming that the fact that more peripherals are needed with the new Mac Pro that sales are low.

That has little to do with JF's assertion above that the lack of internal expansion somehow explains "very low" Mac Pro sales?

If I replaced my current Mac Pro tower sitting under my desk with a new Mac Pro sitting on top of my desk, I wouldn't need any additional peripherals either, since I don't keep additional hard drives installed inside of it, and I don't have any PCI cards installed. And I know this applies to many people out there. > Oh, wait, he's still harping on about how "Professionals: have to attach > multiple hard drives to their Mac Pros and pile them on their desks, > isn't he? Which is bullshit for many professionals, since many already have such peripherals, and many don't need them. > What a prat.

We'll prolly buy another soon, to replace SWMBO's 2009 (IIRC) Core 2 Duo Mini - although we'll most likely keep it to run the slide scanner. I'd expect to get the middle range model with a Fusion drive. That makes it similar to my 2011 Mini that I added an SSD to. -- HAL 9000: Dave. Put down those Windows disks. Dave. DAVE!
