    Mac Pro 2009 ipgrade 4.1 to 5.1

    Hi

    I i've got a MacPro 2009 with 4.1 firmware. As to use a CPU six core, i must to upgrade the firmware from 4.1 to 5.1.

    I've tried to exchange the bios by using a 5.1 bios from another machine, it's working fine but the fan goes to max (the machine don't recognize the CPU fan)

    Maybe i need to exchange SMC too...?

    I know that exist a special tool that solve this problem, but this tool we can find only on netkas.org web site.

    This web site is down so i ask if anyone can help me on this.

    Thanks and best regards
    Luca

      Usually when the fan reaches its maximum on the Apple notebook, it is necessary to check all the connections of the temperature sensors. To get around this problem there is a tool, but now I don't remember where download it. I have it in my lab but next Monday. However, it is possible that the problem depends, as you said, on other causes. What processor mounts, are you sure it's a 6 core?
