Yes, that would be quite the waste! ;)
I realize my initial response made no sense. But what I forgot to include is there the factory heatsink comes with a strip of thermal compound. From: Joseph L.

From: Joseph L. Casale [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2008 12:30 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: HP Processor Swap I would like to take the 5110 from inside a DL380G5 and swap it with the 5335 in a DL360G5. Both systems are compatible with either processor, but obviously the heat sinks will be different. I can't remember the last time I actually handled a proc for one of these beats if the heat sink was factory bonded or not? Will it detach from the CPU so I can swap these?
