Hallo,
thanks to all comments here, I managed to upgrade a MacPro 1.1 to 2.1 with the original dual cores and 26GB RAM, but...
Yesterday I received two X3565 and installed them. Since then:
First, it boots on a 10.6.8 HD unless I hold option to choose the El Capitan disk, it does not show that HD among the bootable one, after starting in El Capitan, sometimes it sticks sometimes not.
Sometimes it starts running max fans, need to reset SMC.
Under Lion it shows all 26GB of RAM I installed (4x4 on Riser A, 2x4 and 2x1 in B), while under Lion and El Capitan often shows only 22, taking two of the 4GB in riser A as 2GB (but I think I have seen also 26 on El Capitan when I first installed the RAM).
Recently I noticed Riser A RAM reaching up to 100 degrees, so I stopped and reseated, now it sees one in two Slots, totalling 13GB with 80 degrees in slot 1.
Also, there is a difference of around 10 degrees between the two processors. I ammoretti sure I spread well the thermoconductive last on both, I don’t remember the temperatures before the upgrade.
I thought the SMC upgrade was done when not yet 8 core, but now the utility says no upgrade is needed...
ditto for EFI. How can I force the upgrade to the 8 core firmwares? I hope this is what is needed, but thanks in advance for any ideas on causes and solutions of the different issues.
