MacOSG demonstrates how to install memory in a 2009 Mac Pro. When performing this upgrade, be sure to take precautions for static by discharging static electricity before beginning. Shut down, unplug and place the Mac Pro on a static-free surface. To access the memory, you need to open the side access door by lifting the latch located on the rear of the Mac until it locks in the open position.
- I 'upgraded' my 2009 Mac Pro to 2 x x5680 about a year ago, but haven't gone to 1333 ram. I've noticed a bit more fan noise, but only when running something CPU intensive (I'm using 95% of all 24 cores in the CPUs right now to do video encoding and I hear a bit of airflow, but nothing mechanical).

- Your Mid 2009 Macbook Pro can run PC3-8500, PC3-10600, PC3-12800 (1066mhz, 1333mhz, 1600mhz) literally anything above 8500 in the PC3 format will work.Higher speed RAM clocks down, or reduces speed to match your computer capability.
Mac Pro has a 6-channel memory controller that supports 12 memory slots you can use to install up to 1.5TB of memory using 2933MHz DDR4 ECC compliant memory DIMMs. To ensure compatibility, Apple recommends that you use Apple-approved memory. You can purchase Apple-approved memory online from the Apple Store or by visiting an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Reseller.
Memory requirements
When you upgrade the memory in your Mac Pro, it must meet these requirements:
- 2933MHz DDR4 full-length DIMM. Mixing memory speeds is not recommended.
- Error-correcting code (ECC)
- 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, or 128GB DIMMs
- Registered (R-DIMM) or Load-Reduced DIMM (LR-DIMM). Do not mix R-DIMMs and LR-DIMMs.
- 288-pin
- Use the same size memory modules across all slots to maximize performance.
- DIMMs with heatsinks are not supported and may damage the DIMM mechanism.
The Mac Pro supports both R-DIMMs and LR-DIMMs, but you can't mix these two memory types. Mixing R-DIMMs and LR-DIMMs will result in a memory error flash of the status indicator light when you turn on your computer.
