2008 Mac Pro Dual 3.2GHz (X5482) Quad-Core CPU Upgrade.For previous reports on 1st Gen Mac Pro Quad-Core upgrades you can search the database, or see these posts. For readers in the USA, the Elkind 3mm hex wrench (9-10" long "T" wrench) from ACE hardware seems popular (and cheap - $4 reportedly, although like anything prices may vary). Don't forget a long 3mm hex wrench to remove the heatsinks. 2006 Anandtech article on Upgrading the (1st gen) Mac Pro's CPUs. (It uses a lot of cores, unlike many common apps.)Īnd here's links to previously posted 1st gen Mac Pro CPU swap guides - a Youtube Video guide on Processor swaps in an early Mac Pro (MacWelt TV - in german) and a Sept. Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT OpenGL EngineĮncoding tests with (free) Handbrake (free) IMHO is a good test for the benefits of more cores. Processor: Dual Intel Xeon L5320 (quad-cores) Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT OpenGL Engine Processor: Intel Xeon E5130 Dual 2.0GHz (dual-cores) And one reader bought a used HP server and swapped the CPUs, then re-sold the server with this original Mac Pro CPUs in it.-Mike) Although some bought used CPUs and sold their original dual-core CPUs to offset the cost. Recent previous reports here on faster Quad-Core Clovertowns said they paid $300 each for 2.66GHz (in July 2009) and $400 each for 3GHz (Oct. ( $150 for a pair was cheap (were they used?) - today I searched ebay and the cheapest price I found was $149.99 each (buy it now priced), other L5320 auctions were higher. ( Doesn't use the extra cores of the slower clock speed CPUs) And by the way, the processors ended costing me $150.00 for the pair and the 8800GT was $170.00 U.S. Overall the system seems snappier - Fractal reported 60-65 Gigaflops! Xbench actually went down from 171 to 154. ( Some other 2006 Mac Pro owners also mentioned that.-Mike) I used one of those stripped screw extractors, very carefully! and it came out. The only problem was a partially stripped screw on one of the Processor heat sinks.

"Upgraded my original 2006 MacPro 1.1 (Dual Xeon 5130 2Ghz processors) with two Xeon L5320 1.86GHz low power Quad-Core processors and also put in an nVidia 8800GT (Flashed PC model) to replace the original nVidia 7300GT. ( Previous reports here on 1st gen Mac Pro Quad-Core ("Clovertown"/X53xx) CPU swaps used higher speed CPUs (typically 2.66GHz or 3GHz) so even with apps that don't use all the cores, you still get a performance boost.-Mike) Recent Updates | Mac Upgrades/Repairs | Storage | Video | Audio/HT | Apps/OS/Network | Home 2006 Mac Pro with Xeon L5320 (1.86GHz) Quad Core CPUs
