FAULTY / DEFECTIVE APPLE MAC PRO 2013 12 CORE D700 64GB 1TB EN FRANCE

Please note carefully, this auction is about a DEFECTIVE / MALFUNCTIONING computer and the buyer must be fully aware of the issues involved, so that he/she would know well what they are buying and can eventually remain satisfied of the purchase. I am reluctantly selling it. It is a beautiful computer, unfortunately though, I do not have time to repair it and I think it is only fair to give it away to someone who will have a better chance to spend time on it. This is a beautiful high end version of the Apple Mac Pro Late 2013 (6.1), featuring: - 12 Core Intel Xeon E5 Processor - 64GB ECC 1866MHz DDR3 Memory - Dual AMD FirePro D700 6GB Video Cards - 1TB Solid-State Drive The problems concern: - Occurrence of video artefacts / large visible flickering (see pictures); - Sudden shutdowns; - Sporadic pre-boot failures with audible warning. The frequency of manifestation can vary greatly. Recently, I have been able to complete entire engineering projects on the computer (on both macOS and native Windows), with only rare instances of malfunction. However, on other occasions, the frequency of problems was so high that it makes the work impossible. Once, the computer would also show nothing on the screen at startup using the DP interface, while working from HDMI. Basically, you are also likely to be able to use it for a while, but it is definitely not to be considered a stable machine. I took advantage of the times when it worked to test peripherals and I found no particular issues with: the front panel ports, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or cooling system. Also, I never noticed any problems with the hard disk in file-system operations. Apple Diagnostic tool never reported issues, even if it is certainly not able to effectively detect the problem. Furthermore, I launched an half-day long memtest86 to validate the RAM functionality (see screenshots) and it did not detect any issues. Stating that most likely the RAM banks are good. Finally, the cosmetic condition of the computer is excellent, with minimal marks on the case. The interior is immaculate, I've always taken good care of it. It comes inside its original box. No further cables or accessories are provided. The drive was formatted and I installed macOS Monterey 12.7.1. I have also created a dummy account, the password is just: password I remain available for any clarification or questions and wish you a great deal. Shipment in EU only. En savoir plus
