Any reason I shouldn’t tray upgrade my 2.93 octo 2009 Mac Pro to a 3.46 ghz to boost Premiere performance?

The wrinkle is my 1080Ti has two big fans that vent the hot air back into the case rather than a stock blower going out of the case.

I would never upgrade such an old computer because the architecture does not allow you to upgrade to much better, new processors, memory etc… so I would do what I did with my old MacPro, sell it on Ebay and custom build a generic PC. It will be way faster for the price.

My 2c…

I see your point except, it’s the same layout as the 2012 so really it’s only
5 year old machine vs 8/9 :). I saw a YouTube video comparing a guys hack into ah build vs a 3.47 12 core Mac Pro. In the end, he said the hacking oath was marginally faster but recommended if you already had a Mac Pro tower to upgrade but if you were starting fresh, to go custom hackintosh build. I ended up doing the upgrade… definitely worth it, nice performance boost, no cooling issues thus far. Totally plug and play system tray swap, $600.
