Fixing stuff, myself included…

CPU Replace = Success!

So… how did it go?

Not too scary. The new/refurbished 6-Core processor arrived yesterday, and I put it in the Mac Pro today.  The Northbridge heatsink is under the the giant processor heatsink, and the plastic rivets on it the were holding fine. The sink was; however, full of dust; a good blow out with compressed air has the Northbridge Chip running 10C cooler! With not much going on the chip reads 53c instead of 63c.

What about the Geekbench results on the cpu?

The multi-core score did almost double and the single-core rose somewhat. I’ll post the particulars tomorrow.
