I'm selling my macpro 2009, a guy asks my this question but i cannot answer

the question is : Can i use a 2009 CPU Daughterboard in 2010 Mac Pro? Is there any problems? (SMC firmware issue etc...)

thank you guys

Unfortunately you cannot. While you can physically interchange the modules the SMC version is different for each version thus preventing interchanging them between the two.

It will fit, and it even works, at least the computer turns on and boots, but the fans be insane and will run at max speed, and there is no way to fix this. This is the reason they are not compatible.

thank you Bubalight and mp2017,

I've found this thread, very interesting! https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/fan-control-for-980ti-in-mac-pro-5-1.1968900/

So my question now is, can I interchange the modules then use Fan Control app to speed down the fans?

It could be a solution, i hope so

No.
