[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1935150, member: 56379"] I have two Mac Pro 5,1's that I use almost daily (one is a 2010 model...the other is a 2012 model). I bought them both used. One came with RAM with heatsinks...one came with RAM without heatsinks. They both seem to run fine...never had any sort of Mac Pro lockup's (due to heat or otherwise). The Mac Pro 5,1 without the heatsinks has OWC RAM (OWC label on the RAM). I'd say go with the RAM with heatsinks if they aren't too expensive/more expensive than RAM without the heatsinks. I know Mac Pro RAM with Heatsinks can be harder to find. Can always give eBay a try...might be someone selling used Mac Pro RAM with heatsinks. Another thought. Does this 5,1 Mac Pro really128 GB RAM? Just asking in case it's usually not pushed super hard/a production computer. HTH, Nick [/QUOTE]
