Pack a punch! on Computers and Accessories

This was a great addition to my Mac Pro 2009 4.1 > 5.1. The packaging was spot on as the item was perfectly protected in transit. There are many videos to help you install it yourself. Just remember to take it slow, and you could end up with a half-tired Mac Pro that far exceeds its weight class. That and as much RAM as you can afford will get your Mac Pro burning again.

Pros
  • CPU Processors
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Easy CPU upgrade Processors

I upgraded my 2009 2.93GHz MacPro system to these Xenons. This process was easy to set up and I had no temperature issues. I recommend doing a full motherboard clean and installing 1333MHz RAM modules for the best upgrade performance. Very satisfied!

Thirsty Yet Cooler: Internal Components

Reasonable price and no need to contact ebay seller. Compared to the W3530 quad-core replacement, it replaces. This processor is memory hungry! But it doesn't offer much gaming performance. For non-gaming use, it handles Windows applications with ease. The processor overall stays cooler than the W3530 under both moderate and heavy usage. However, if you like PC gaming, you really need a lot of physical RAM. In my experience, 16GB was the bare minimum. Often the CPU usage was at 80% or at 80%…

Pros
  • Computers and Accessories
Cons
  • The list will be long.
