The original Bluetooth card will be removed because the BCM94360CD has both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi on board. Solder Bluetooth data cable to the mPCIe adapter ThereвЂ™s a version of the mPCIe adapter that doesnвЂ™t require soldering! Amazon, Ebay. Some smart guy sells similar kit for around 215 USD + shipping but normally you get it for less than a quarter of the price (and free shipping from China) The Broadcom card mentioned in the kit is used in many iMac models thus natively supported by macOS.

The upgrade kit described here is 100% native, doesnвЂ™t include any external cards, antennas and doesnвЂ™t require any additional software installation. We take zero responsibility if you damage your computer somehow (highly unlikely but you never know). macOS 10.15 Catalina no longer supports old BCM94322MC Wi-Fi card so Wi-Fi will not work thereДisclamer: this website is by no means associated with any of ebay sellers mentioned here.Wi-Fi 802.11ac is insanely fast, Bluetooth 4.0 is more reliable, secure and way quicker.You get Continuity, Handoff and new AirDrop working natively.HereвЂ™re main reasons why you want to upgrade Wi-Fi to 802.11ac and Bluetooth to 4.0:

For single-CPU upgrades, its a friendlier price situation, such as going from 2.66Ghz to 3.33Ghz.Classic Mac Pro 5,1 (also 4,1 upgraded to 5,1) features only Wi-Fi 802.11n and Bluetooth 2.1. In terms of value, it makes sense to upgrade to the 3.33Ghz 12-core only if you must have the last drop of performance. The 3.33Ghz CPU itself is a very expensive part, and so the great bulk of the upgrade cost is the dual CPUs themselves.

If youвЂ™re buying a fast system to run 24X7 at max CPU load with maxed-out heat-belching 15K rpm drives and the PCIe slots full of power hungry cards-who knows. IвЂ™m completely comfortable in my usage of this upgraded system, and I beat on it harder than most users. The Mac Pro fan system can easily deal with this even under full load I found that the fan noise increased only a little. The single-CPU 2010 Mac Pros all use 130 watt parts, so there is no real difference with a dual CPU system other than total power draw each CPU has its own heat sink on the dual core systems, each generating the same heat as the single-CPU systems. So under max load, the faster CPUs will draw 2X35 = 70 watts more power. The 3.33GHz W5680 is a 130 watt CPU, whereas AppleвЂ™s 2.93GHz 12-core uses 95 watts. FromД«etter to upgrade the 2.8GHz model for lower cost Not all possibilities shown, see the OWC CPU upgrade page. 2010/2012 upgradesДЄvailability for fastest speeds as of mid February, 2011. The best 2010 Mac Pro system to upgrade is the 2.4GHz 8-core system, because itвЂ™s the least expensive. You wonвЂ™t believe how slick this upgrade is- send OWC your existing CPU tray, wait a few days for the upgraded tray, then pop it in and boot up! IвЂ™m now happily running my 8-core 2.4GHz Mac Pro with a brain transplant: the 12-core 3.33Ghz model-see my review. With OWCвЂ™s CPU upgrade program, an upgrade to a faster CPU or more CPU cores is made easy.ДЄs of late 2014, OWC can upgrade the CPU in the 2009 or 2010 or 2012 Mac Pro models, and can also upgrade the CPU in a 2013 Mac Pro.ДЄpple wonвЂ™t sell you a 3.33Ghz 12-core Mac Pro, but you can still have one! Or 3.46 GHz.
