@@poweredbyowc I recall seeing dozens of them mounted on their sides in rack mount chassis at NBC’s Manhattan broadcast center long ago. It was a stunning sight, more like something you’d expect from Cray than from a consumer manufacturer. Just imagine dark, shiny, featureless orbs lined up in an array. And a quiet array at that. Mounted that way their thermal design was easy to plan for in a server room.

Thank you so much for this video. The instructions worked perfectly for me, I was even able to vacuum out plenty of dust! For me though, two of the four screws holding the retaining bracket for the processor had loosened the locating posts underneath (the ones you can see with the copper heat sink). I had to use some pliers and a quick snap with the screwdriver to separate the posts from the bracket. The post could then be secured back into the heat shield plate. After reassembly the Mac started no problems. Very pleased!

I did it! Thank you!! 12-Core CPU and 64 GB OWC RAM. Just should've been more specific on how much tighter the CPU screws should have been, since I scratched the Power Supply's black metal surface with the CPU screws as I tried reassembling the whole things. So I redid the entire CPU part and remade some of the cooling paste. So, screw the CPU on TIGHT, but carefully and in the mentioned star pattern.

Muchas gracias, seguí las instrucciones y actualicé mi Mac Pro 6.1 Xeon de 4 núcleos E5 1620 V2 a E5 2697 V2 de 12 núcleos. Estoy contento porque pude seguir su detallada explicación y logré hacerlo con relativa facilidad. Estoy familiarizado con el hardware de PC y Mac desde hace muchos años y por eso me atreví. Según iba desmontando fui poniendo las piezas y sus tornillos en bandejas separadas y así evité el caos. Saludos desde España

Thank you for this video. I just upgraded from the default 6-core to the 8-core E5-2673 v2 because I was having heat issues. This video made it very straightforward. I had no idea how much dust can accumulate in the fan itself, in the top part of the computer. Overall a cheap upgrade this day and age and I'm seeing much lower temps

Thanks for this usefull video... I managed to replace the base cpu model by a 10 cores at 3 GHz in around 3 hours (taking my time)... This machine is not an easy friend when it comes to tearing down. I have to point out something not mention in the video : the 4 final screws. When I arrived there, I thought I was stuck. They were full with no holes in them for the screwdriver. Bloody hell ! Everything for nothing... But, if you watch carefully and scrap the heads of the screws, you will see the holes to appear. And then you can proceed. Hope il will help someone.

@@poweredbyowc thanks, I tried the SMC reset - unplug and plug in holding the power button and didn’t get anything.
