skaboot Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I apologize if this is in the wrong forum and if this topic has already been started elsewhere in the forum. I have a Mac Pro 2006 Model. The logic/mother board is bad. Does anyone know if I can take a 2008 (or newer) board and replace my 2006 board? I understand I'll have to get a new CPU(s) and possibly other hardware which may be incompatible with a 2008 board. I just want to know if a 2008 Logic Board is a direct fit in a 2006 Mac Pro chassis. Any input would be extremely helpful! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucasIsEpic Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 hello there, first things first, welcome to the forum second thing, :no i had the same issue when i was building my 2008 mac pro and had a 2006 logic board, they were incompatible unfortunately, slightly different io and different ram riser locations prohibit the switching of logic boards . sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skaboot Posted September 20, 2011 Author Share Posted September 20, 2011 Thanks for the reply...I figured I would have to stick with a 2006 L/B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucasIsEpic Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 you should be able to pick up a 2006 logic board for not much more, or even a 2007 model as they are pretty much identical. i wouldn't give up on the mac yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
