General
The Mac Pro (Late 2013) has four memory slots that you can upgrade with up to 64GB of memory using 1866 MHz DDR3 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.
Requirements
When you upgrade the memory in your Mac Pro (Late 2013) it must meet these requirements.
The RAM is soldered to the logic board in all of these models. Here is the logic board from iFixit's Teardown of the low end 15' model (2.0 GHz, 8 GB RAM, 256 SSD). Inside the yellow box are 16 x 512 MB DDR3 SDRAM (8 GB total) memory chips.
- 1866 MHz DDR3 full length DIMM. Mixing memory speeds is not recommended.
- Error-correcting code (ECC).
- 4GB, 8GB, or 16 GB DIMMs.
- Unbuffered (UDIMM) or Registered (RDIMM). Do not mix UDIMMs and RDIMMs.
- 240 pin DIMM.
- 1.5 or 1.35 volts.
- Use the same size memory modules across all slots to maximize performance.
- DIMMs with heatsinks are not supported and may damage the DIMM mechanism.
Important: All DIMMs must be 1866MHz DDR3 ECC compliant. The Mac Pro supports both unbuffered UDIMMs and registered RDIMMs, but it is important not to mix these two types of memory. Mixing UDIMMs and RDIMMs will result in a memory error tone when you turn on your computer.
- The maximum version of Mac OS X, OS X, or macOS supported by each G3 and later Mac follows. 15.x. 1 MacBook Pro 13' 'Core i5' 2.4 Late 2013 Current. 1 MacBook Pro.
- The Ethernet capabilities - 10Base-T, 10/100Base-T, Gigabit - of each Apple Mac with complete specs a click away. Includes production dates, processor type.
Recommended configurations
| Total Memory | DIMM Slot 1 | DIMM Slot 2 | DIMM Slot 3 | DIMM Slot 4 |
| 12GB | 4GB ECC UDIMM | 4GB ECC UDIMM | 4GB ECC UDIMM | |
| 16GB | 4GB ECC UDIMM | 4GB ECC UDIMM | 4GB ECC UDIMM | 4GB ECC UDIMM |
| 32GB | 8GB ECC UDIMM | 8GB ECC UDIMM | 8GB ECC UDIMM | 8GB ECC UDIMM |
| 64GB | 16GB ECC RDIMM | 16GB ECC RDIMM | 16GB ECC RDIMM | 16GB ECC RDIMM |

The fans, as has been pointed out in another thread of yours, are actually running at 2000 RPM even when the computer is cold. They simply speed up as the CPU temperature rises. Under OSX they are usually running at a substantially increased speed by the time the computer reaches 70 or 80 degrees (though still not flat out). Under bootcamp the 'stepping' may be different, but the temps in the 70 to 80 degree C range you mention are not a problem regardless.
