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.

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.

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.

You can get geek bench 15000+ from a W3680 or 3690 single CPU drop-in upgrade.

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
