I have watched a few videos on how to tear apart the Mac Pro 2013, but sometimes the videos don't really show the complicated or extremely difficult parts of the tear down. The New Mac Pro coming out is way out of my price point currently.so thought maybe this upgrade would make the Mac Pro 2013 last a few more years.

To have them make the upgrade is of course expensive ( extra $500 or so), but with the hassle.might be worth it instead of risking it.Īny thoughts from those who have a 12-Core Mac Pro 2013 or have knowledge about the differences in performance from the 6-Core to 12-Core? Of course it is a pain to tear it all apart (I am tech enough to do it).but would it be worth it and the risk? Mostly, I would use the Mac Pro 2013 for video work. Would I notice (or is there) a significant improvement in performance? I use mainly FCPX, Motion, Compressor and Logic Pro X. Runs cooler on maOS Catalina 10.15.1 (19B88) (noticed a difference). Is it worth to upgrade a Mac Pro 2013 with dual D500 GPUs from a 3.5GHz 6-Core to a 2.7GHz 12-Core?Īlready put an OWC Aura Pro X2 1TB NVMe SSD in it and updated the RAM to 64GB DDR3-1866.
