  • What a nice way to ruin your expensive chip. Always replace your heatsink grease because re-using dried out compound results in air bubbles and reduced heat transfer, this can result in heat buildup and burn up your chip.

  • Hot swap a cpu? I call BS.

  • @mmmmbert Hot swapping CPUs is possible, just very uncommon. First step is to disable the entire node, then power down the CPU riser board ( usually two CPUs ). Swap with new CPU Riser board and new CPUs for entire node. Re-enable node.

    It is much like distributed computing - except inside 'one' machine.

    The trick is that each CPU in the node had to match, you could not upgrade in this manner, merely replace a faulty chip or fan. I'm in the biz & I've seen it once - 15 years ago

  • Nice hair Asian women  ***lushfmlk.info***

  • @bmw2go11 okay

  • @pyromaniac171 The fans are at 100% because they detected that the door is removed. When you replace the door, it gets much quieter..

  • those fans are extremely load you need to take them down from 100% to about 60 to 70%

  • @zimtower I agree

  • @mmmmbert Hot Swapping of a CPU has been possible technology in enterprise/server environments for many years, although it usually will require you restarting the OS, but not always.

  • DUDE YOU HAVE TITTS !!!! WorkOut

  • He's lieing........ HE's a BOUNCER!

  • AMD sure has a nack for picking gay fucking names.
