Hello all. My customer has an ML310 G5. It currently has an E3110 dual core 3.0Ghz processor. It needs more processor power badly, but the server otherwise works fine. Is it feasible to upgrade the processor? I have located resellers that have X3360 processors on ebay. I understand the risks involved, what I'm asking is if this is technically possible. Can I just swap out the processor and go? I think it will probably need a more powerful cooling fan as well. Do I need to get an HP kit for all this to fit? The server has dual power supplies so I think we're good there.
Much appreciate any advice on this. Thanks.
