Hi everyone,

What I found on craigslist WAS a complete dual CPU Mac Pro for $450. I would just have to buy one X5690 and swap out my existing X5690 in my single core Mac Pro to have a complete, dual X5690 setup with a Radeon 4870, 12GB RAM, and all my hard drives. So $450 + a X5690 - what I can sell my single CPU early 2009 Pro for VS the eBay option. Every Mac comes with a one-year limited warranty and up to 90 days of complimentary technical support. AppleCare+ for Mac extends your coverage to three years from your AppleCare+ purchase date and adds up to two incidents of accidental damage coverage, each subject to a service fee of $99 for screen damage or external enclosure.

I just recently upgraded my mid-2010 MacPro 5,1 (not 2009 flashed) single processor 4-core 2.8 GHz tray with 32 GB RAM to a dual processor 12-core tray with 64 GB RAM. I removed the original 2.93 GHz processors the dual tray came with and replaced them with 2 X5690 3.46 GHz processors.

To check the temps, I encoded a rather large video file with HandBrake.

During the encoding, I noticed that CPU A ran hotter than CPU B- about 92-98º C for CPU A and about 71-75º C for CPU B.

Is it normal for CPU A to run hotter than CPU B? Idle temps seem about the same, with CPU A running just slightly above CPU B's temps.

Forgive my ignorance, but which one is CPU A on the board (the left or the right one)?

Thanks in advance for the info!

Mac Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5), 3.46 GHz Hexa Core- Intel
