I put it all together :) If I have a tube of Thermal Compound, I assume I am safe if I clean and reapply? Logically, I am sure that would work but I have never pillaged an HP before and am not sure what I may encounter...

But what I forgot to include is there the factory heatsink comes with a strip of thermal compound. From: Joseph L.

I would hate to have a small fileserver for ~20 people have the Quad core that could go into an ESX server :) Cheers, jlc From: Barsodi.John [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2008 2:04 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: HP Processor Swap Yes it will detach, but you will want to buy another heatsink that has the or lube up with some thermal compound. 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?
