Intel Xeon X5690 12MB 3.46 GHz 6.40 GT/s Processor

Very Handsome CPU´s

I already receive a perfect matched paired Intel Xenon 5690 CPU´s They are clean & pristine. They arrive very well packed and protected inside a carton box with antistatic plastic bags. Now, i am wating for a device from amazon, a der8auer Delid-Die-Mate !, to cut the IHS from this processors, and put them to work, so by today i am just confident they will function ok.Read full review

Brought to life to my old 2009 Mac Pro

These definitely gave my old Mac Pro a few more years of usefulness. The old 2x4 core 2 point something ghz processors were showing their age. They still worked but didn’t seem as powerful as they once did. These solved the problem. Just be aware you need to de-lid them for the 2009 model year. I used the vise only method and it worked well for me. Good purchase and worth the money if you want to still use your Mac Pro for media creation and don’t want to dump out on the new 2019 model. The new ones are undoubtedly superior in specs and performance but an upgraded old school cheese grader can still be useful if you have the dual processors and go 12 core 3.46. I upgraded to 96gb ram and an rx580 also. As whole these upgrades made a big big difference. Read full review

CPU upgrade

This processor is exactly what it’s supposed to be.
I replaced a Xeon 2.8 Ghz four core, with this Xeon 3.4 Ghz six core.
The install was very easy on my 2010 MacPro 5,1.

Super fast processing.

These processors are now living in an upgraded 2009 mac pro and they are screamin'
Love IT!

Works Great

Replaced my i7-950 with this Zeon X5690. It provided 2 more cores, much bigger cache and about 15% more clock speed.

New life for a 10 year old system.

Works great!

Old tech with modest overclock working like a charm.

Applied a modest overclock to 4.1Ghz. Performing well and staying cool. Great piece of old tech able to play most modern games (that aren't super CPU dependent) reasonably well with a good GPU.
