Can i put 1366 core i7 in mac pro 4,1 5,1

[Amethyst]

I want to upgrade my 4,1 from 4x2.66 to 6x3.33.
but in my country. To buy xeon w3680 is really hard.
In other hand the i7-980 is easily to found.

So can i put i7 in my mp.

 

[Inconsequential]

Yes.

But only the SP machines.

NOT the DP machines.

Yes.

The second QPI channel with shut itself down, and work (DP parts will work in an SP machine of this particular architecture; the reverse however, is NOT possible <SP processor in a DP machine>).

That said however, the cost of a 56xx part is more expensive, making the use of a 56xx CPU in an SP board not cost effective.

Another note, if you use an i7-9xx, the OEM memory will not operate in ECC mode (i7's do not support ECC; OEM memory is Unbuffered ECC, aka UDIMM), and Registered ECC DIMM's won't work at all with an i7 (RDIMM).
