Mac Pro teardown

Yes, the CPU is upgradable, but I wouldn’t. Apple designed the thermals and power supply (it’s only 450W…) of the Mac Pro to fit a certain range of chips. If you drop a high-TDP Xeon in there you are asking for trouble.

You can’t get into too much trouble considering Apple sells them with the same chip (but at a premium of $1000 over the DIY upgrade cost).
