[QUOTE="allenabled, post: 1768730, member: 395434"] [b]I had the same issue today[/b] The last note on this thread nailed it. I upgraded my old 4 core processors to the 6 core x5690's in my mac pro mid 2010. I didn't screw the heatsinks completely into the motherboard so the sensors were not fully attached. I just pulled out the tray and screwed them in until they couldn't go any further. Threw the tray back in and my 8 core is now a silent silky smooth 12 core. Bought a pair of pulled x5690 for $200 Artic silver paste, the cleaner and rag in total $250 Don't get the turnkey BS on OWC. [/QUOTE]
