Hey guys,
lately I upgraded the CPU's of my MacPro from 2009. I had two Intel Xeon E5520 at 2,23GHz (Quad-Core) and replaced them with the fastest you where able to buy the Mac Pro right of Apple, the two Intel Xeon X5570 at 2,93GHz (Quad-Core). I did everything as you need to, removed the heat sinks, cleaned of the old thermal paste, placed the new ones in (without the plastic holding thing as the new ones didn't fit in it) distributed new thermal paste over them so there is every where a thin layer of it. I then screwed the head thinks again on the processor board and placed it back in my MacPro. It booted ad works find with them.
But now he randomly starts speeding up the fans to there max RPM and he won't stop doing that till I shut the computer down and restart it, restarting it with the 'restart-option' doesn't stop the fans.
I already checked with a temperature software if one processor maybe gets to hot or so, but both are around 30degrees and 40degrees, same temperature als the old ones had and the old ones never did that.
What could be the solution? It's quiet frustrating as the MacPro is normally so quiet and now sounds like a starting helicopter when he does that... :/
