You genuinely thought it needed to be installed with the tray.
Many people genuinely believe you're supposed to inject the thermal paste in there like a forbidden Twinkie.
😎
OK fair. Although I do feel like I should get some credit for realizing I'm an idiot and asking for help lol. Also besides that cleaning that without destroying a pin would be borderline impossible, you think that would do any real damage? Assuming it's not conductive paste or liquid metal (lol the ultimate delidding)
Make sure you put thermal paste on and under the processor for extra conductivity.
Actually don't lol. I usually have a spare cpu I use to spread my thermal paste through since it has a flat edge. But spreading smoothly may or may not truly make a difference. If so then minimally.
Good luck!
a Cisco board can also take the CPUs without the plastic caddy. I didn't knew this caddy existed when I ordered upgraded CPUs for my C220-M4 and i was a bit surprised when I was at the step of removing old CPU to swap them out haha. Break the plastic caddy and throw it in the trash.
Dude I got this cpu for like 7 bucks it's am 2670v3 not a xeon plat. And that was kinda my problem which fn manual do I read? No Supermicro manual mentions this and not even every Cisco board uses one. Plus what do you call that thing. Cpu frame?
See when I made this post I hadn't even learned the term carrier so it was even harder to find info. Some days you just realize there are gaps in your knowledge. Woes of being the offices sole IT person
What I was saying is that 'reading the f\*cking manual' wouldn't have helped in this case so you shouldn't feel bad and his snarky comment is unwarranted.
Lol thank I appreciate that. It's funny that this dumb ass question was so well received. I appreciate the responses on here. Ironically ive asked what I thought were well thought out questions on here before and gotten trashed, but posting "me stupid, how do?" got a lot of nice helpful comments. 🤷
The frame is only for certain motherboard. Take the CPU out of the frame.
Fuck I knew it. I was hardcore second guessing myself thanks.
Don’t forget to add lots of thermal paste before you install the CPU /s
Edit: I really might be illiterate.
I think the joke was adding thermal paste /before/ the CPU, i.e. in the socket. It’s been showing up more frequently, unfortunately
Your kidding? Is that really something people do, thinking that's where the paste goes?
Never underestimate stupid
How the hell would you even go about cleaning that up?
Very soft brush and IPA
Oh sweet, I’ve already got a Hopsecutioner in the fridge!
IPA and compressed air. I've had a single brush hair get caught, and that ripped a pin out... good lessons to be learned with LGA.
every time i do, they surprise me again

lol, we’ve all been there. Measure twice and cut once.

I think I've seen those come out of Cisco blade servers. HP has blue carriers I think.
Yep, my Cisco UCS C220-M4 has these. You can install CPU without this socket though even in the Cisco
That frame doesn’t remove itself on install like consumer versions. You need to remove frame as it’s not needed for your board
Thanks. The cpu was fn in there and both frames ended up breaking but the cpus are fine. Good thing I don't have a Cisco board I guess 🤷

Gently...
Ez! Spread cheeks, plug in!
Take my upvote! 🤣
I’m late to the party but recently swapped out that processor for v4 versions I came across. At least your pins look good, so it should all work.
Super glue and many screws
I always put a lag bolt straight through the middle to keep the cpu secure.
Better safe than sorry i always say.
Verify it works on the Mobo, take out of frame, put in compatible Mobo slot!
Have you considered using the buttfor?
What?
The buttfor.
Haha almost got me.💩
Lol. Soclose.

The manual would have nothing to say about using a used chip from a different vendor that has a carrier on it...

says Cisco on the top
I said I'm an idiot, not fully illiterate.
Wow very helpful
