Help with processor upgrade

[maclancer]

I am using a 2009 MacPro with the 2010 firmware applied. Can someone link me the latest processor upgrade that I can install in it?

That's in a sticky thread, just one line above your post.

W3690 or X5690 for single CPU board

X5690 for dual CPU board

There's a lot more to it than just the CPU PNs. Do you have a single or dual process 4,1 cMP? The CPU upgrade procedure is far easier on a single CPU 4,1 than a dual CPU model.

And there are also more CPU upgrade possibilities that correspond to the number of cores you require.

I have the single processor, the MacPro already have 16GB ECC RAM.

Can this processor work on the MacPro? https://www.ebay.com/itm/352040112307

Yes, it should work.

Yes, if it's an OEM CPU (Not a pre production sample unit) no pins are broken, and it's in good working order, it will work in a 4,1 single processor or a 5,1 single or dual processor without issue or modification.

The seller has good feedback, so I wouldn't worry about it.

Are you running 1333MHz RAM that the CPU supports?

No, the standard 1066 ECC RAM.
