cMP & nMP {MacPro 4,1 & 5,1} Memory Upgrade Compatibility and FAQ


here start mega thread of memory upgrades , faq

please feel free post working configurations along brand , model numbers.


single w36xx cpu can support 56gb memory (3x16 + 8)
single x56xx cpu can support 64gb memory (4x16)
dual x56xx cpu can support 160gb memory (5x32)

**currently there no confirmation if 32gb dimms can used on single processor cmp further push memory size limit.**


apple's recommendation:
  • pc3-10600e, 1333 mhz, ddr3 sdram udimms
  • error-correcting code (ecc)
  • 72-bit wide, 240-pin ecc modules
  • 36 ics maximum per ecc udimm

mac pro can accept slower memory. run slower.

mac pro can accept faster memory, dimm automatically downclock match cpu / logicboard's max possible speed.

there no requirement use ecc ram on cmp.

memory specifications differ between 4,1 , 5,1

afaik, ram specifications same between 4,1 , 5,1 cmp. when 4,1 upgraded 5,1 firmware 4,1 can use faster , more cores cpus.

memory suppliers, avoid ebay , macsales (owc) @ costs. many ebay sellers sell counterfeit equipment , owcs memory has proven suspect.

ram supplier since 1986, has been:
