Hello, I upgraded your MacPro4,1 with a new CPU and RAM. The firmware was updated without issues. You're wondering about getting it to boot properly, especially since you faced similar problems when trying to install an RTX 3060.

Have you checked this precisely? The x5690 needs to be adjusted for your board so the CPU block/power connector works properly. Your board might not handle that chip re-power, which could damage it. Here’s a link: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/mac...e.2351769/

Sure, I'll review that discussion thoroughly. It contains a wealth of details worth noting.

The CPU carries the SSN "J5919009A1LUD". Is this timing appropriate?

I replaced the CPU again and the power indicator started flashing as described in the MacRumors article. Eventually, it stopped working.

Start by checking the build week from the CPU tray SSN to ensure it was completed after at least weeks 19 and 20 (like J5920_____, where the third digit is the year). Your build is in week 19, so it might be possible. How reliable is that information? Have you taken out the extra RAM you added? Bring it back to the basics and test again. Also, are you installing on a single CPU tray or a dual-socket one?

The initial versions are the authentic files, while the updated ones are the revised copies.
