[QUOTE="SuB8HaVeN, post: 385501, member: 20214"] If the memory upgrade you purchased doesn't have larger heatsinks like the ones your Mac Pro originally came with, they will eventually overheat and have problems. A lot of FB-DIMM memory sold only has a thin layer of metal because most servers/workstations that use FB-DIMM have special cooling for the memory alone. The Mac Pro doesn't have any special cooling setup for the memory, so the modules need larger heatsinks to dissipate the heat. [/QUOTE]
