ML110 G5 on steroids
Wednesday, 09 September 2009 19:29

Today I was quite thrilled since the Quad Core X3370 for my HP ML110 G5 arrived. Placing the CPUs is very easy, and using T15 or a flat screwdriver you should be able to do too. In fact, it took me more time to write this article than installing the new CPUs Cool.

Okay, here are some pictures:

Before Situation

This is the before situation: default dual core 2.33GHz (3065), NO FT Frown

Put the host in maintenance mode and shut it down, giving it a good reason:

proc_upgrade

And then after the upgrade:

The brand new and fast X3370 @ 3.00GHz, and most important, FT is enabled! Smile

And I just confirmed it works! The CPU is fast, FT works - ME HAPPY!

    I'm using 2009.07.15 (A) (30 Jul 2009) which is available from the HP website. By the way, according to the release notes, you need this version to be able to run this CPU: Version: 2009.03.12 (A) (30 Mar 2009). Added support for Intel Xeon Quad Core 3.0GHz X3370 processors.

    Hi lads,

    I stubled accross this while googling to see if the ML119 G5 could take a X3380. I did establish that in theory with the right firmware it could take a X3370 via the HP website. However I am curious to know if I could stuff a X3380 in it also?

    Heard or seen anything?
