Hi. I have a 2012 macpro. Have a 3565 3.2 Processor. Can i use E 5630 processor near it or do i have to use the same processors as 2 pieces E 5630?
Thank you very much guys.

I don't think that your macpro has a second CPU socket. If you want 2 processors, then you must purchase a compatable CPU board with 2 sockets.
W3565 is designed for single socket boards. It cannot be paired with another processor.
Thank you for your very fast answer Studio K. Where can i find a cpu board for 2 processors?
Thank you very much.

or eBay.
The 2009 board is to be avoided because of different SMC firmware. 2010 or 2012 boards should work.

Cheaper to sell your Mac Pro and buy a 2009 2.26GHz 8-core than this option though.
Yes. Don't forget you will also need two new heatsinks and even used these are ridiculously expensive.
Thank you very much guys actually i need minimum 15000 benchmark. This macpro 9800. Do i get this performance from 2009 2.26GHz 8-core?
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

That - Swop your 2012 quad core for the Hex core 3,33ghz
That's what I have and 64bit GB multi thread score is 15,890 😀
