вЂњHi Matt, donвЂ™t worry, we will provide a video and written guide explaining every step! Fingers crossed the card turns up today.вЂќД¬reate Pro has posted an update on their Facebook pageвЂ¦. Then in a response to a comment on their article George from Create Pro saidвЂ¦ вЂњWe have purchased a Titan Ridge card and will follow up with a how-to guide next week.вЂќ Create Pro have said in their article thatвЂ¦ Light At The End Of The Tunnel?Д«ut there may be light at the end of the tunnel. Proceed with caution and AT YOUR OWN RISK. Note that we have not tested the download links in the Mac Rumours thread. So although DSM2 appears to have released the keys to unlocking Thunderbolt 3 on older Mac Pro computers, the path to get to it is not an easy one to take. The second thread on the Mac Rumours forum has a number of warnings вЂњthat this may turn your computer into a brick, donвЂ™t attempt unless you know what you are doingвЂќ. We have taken a look at this and this is seriously messing with the computer and the macOS. Everything you need you will find in the files attached.вЂќ Not For The Faint-Hearted!

Install the Thunderbolt Card in Slot 4 and have Thunderbolt with hotplug from cold boot on. OpenCore EFI attached for the MacPro5,1 with an SSDT (created by my Friend for Slot 4. вЂњFirmware for the Titan Ridge based on NVM23.

DSM2 also included a link to another thread on the Mac Rumours forum which explains how to install the OpenCore software, which is needed to make this work.

Then followed a section of the thread on the Mac Rumours forum, which ended up in DSM2 posting the code required to make this all work.

This looks as though DSM2 has received a вЂcease and desist noticeвЂ™ and so chose to refund people as he was no longer in a position to deliver Gigabyte cards with his updated firmware. вЂњHe just sent me a refund telling me that he was contacted by gigabytes lawyers.вЂќ Then according to one of his customers on the Mac Rumours thread, DSM2 had refunded their money for a Gigabyte cardвЂ¦ There are no more cards under NDA available.вЂќ

There will be a How To Guide but still there will be people who will have questions and we cannot just take care of everything. Neither my team nor I can run it permanently. We canвЂ™t keep giving support, we all have wives, kids, work. If you have twenty people to support, thatвЂ™s a lot of work, but what if you have 30 or 40 people or even more? Need because the MacPro 5.1 was never designed for Thunderbolt. So that this disaster can be avoided, we make use of OpenCore.ДЄ) because it fixes the problem regarding EFIД«) improves our system in the long run and allows to install newer versions without any additional patchesД¬) also allows us to inject SSDTs into the system, which is what we need in terms of Thunderbolt hotplug. On the old Apple computers the EFI was a pure disaster. ItвЂ™s not just installing a card and everything runs without you having to do anything. вЂњWell, not everyone can have the same level of technical knowledge. Create Pro asked for DSM2 for comment about his cardsвЂ¦ It turns out that DSM2 wasnвЂ™t prepared to lose his intellectual property by just selling modified Titan Ridge card, he would only sell them if you signed an NDA agreeing not to share the firmware he had developed to make this work. There is also a thread on the Mac Rumours forum, which is in English.

You may recall we posted an article back in March 2019 entitled Mac Pro 5,1 Cheese-grater With Thunderbolt - The Impossible Is Now Possible in which we showed, with the help of Create Pro that it was possible to use a Gigabyte GC-Titan Ridge Thunderbolt Card with the caveat that you had to boot the Mac Pro into Windows 10 to load the Windows drivers before rebooting in the macOS to continue working.Д¬reate Pro then discovered a conversation on a German Hackintosh forum discussing a custom firmware one member, DSM2, had created allowing for native compatibility for the Titan Ridge card in macOS. It is turning out to be a challenge to implement, but we continue to update this article as new information becomes available. Back in late February 2020, we heard that there a solution has been found, which enables MacPro Cheese-grater owners to install a Titan Ridge Thunderbolt 3 card into a Mac Pro 5,1 and to be able to use Thunderbolt 3 in macOS.
