Has the Macpro 5,1 ever been fitted with a E5630 cpu?
There is one of these for sale in my area but when I looked in the everymac site I couldn't find any mention of this cpu being fitted to a 5,1.
At 2.53ghz I don't think it would be an upgrade?
Could someone shed some light on this? thanks

Thanks for replies.
This computer was advertised as a 5,1 with only one E5630.
So I take it it's not a factory fit.
It could even be an upgraded 4,1.
I wouldn't have a clue.
What questions do I ask to check if its an original 5,1

Correct, Apple never sold a computer with a single E5630. They did sell the 2010 (5,1) Mac Pro with dual E5620s (Base Dual CPU configuration) The Base single CPU configuration was W3530.

Thanks all,
You saved my bacon.
Seller claimed a typo but I've no longer any interest.
Sometimes when you want something you don't see straight!

But the 5630 is an 80W processor and the 5680/90 are 130W and that may be the logic behind using it. I use 5675's because I didn't want to jump to 130w

Yep, but why not max it out? It's not that much of a costly upgrade -- plus you will have a higher resale value. The fans do kick up sometimes but it's not a biggie.

More energy, more fan noise, and more heat these things matter to some.
