Upgrading my 2013 Mac Pro for video editing

[Gary E Davis]

Hey all

I'm trying to upgrade my trashcan mac pro to help me edit video faster for my youtube channel, But I'm 64 on a fixed income. Has anyone here upgraded the CPU in a 2013 mac from 8 core to the 12 core that could send me the 8 core CPU?

Thank you

Gary

Hi,

I personally don't have a Mac Pro (Late 2013), and I would guess that may be a hard part to find here. You could always buy a Used | OWC Tested upgrade: OWC Upgrades for Mac Pro. The 8-core is $99 USD.

Sorry, but hope that helps!

I upgraded my trash can from a 4 core to a 6 core (Link).
I picked the 6 core up from Facebook market place for $10, second hand 8 cores are harder to come by, so Corey's suggestion of OWC seems the way to go.
Good luck with the upgrade.
