Hello,
I am in the process of upgrading a hand me down MacPro 3,1's CPU. It came with one CPU and I am upgrading to two E5472's. I am hoping someone can clarify the part number for the heatsink to make sure I install the correct one over the place holder empty one that came with it.
I ordered a "Apple Mac Pro First A1186 generation Heatsink and Fan 593-0323" from ebay, but now that I am double checking everything I am second guessing myself that this is not the correct heatsink, but perhaps a heatsink for the previous model 1,1 or 2,1. Are these heatsink's backward/forward compatible? If not, does anyone know the exact part number I should search for?
Thanks guys.
