    CPU temps in dual socket X10DRI-T4+ with passive cooling

    I have 2x Intel E5-2680 v4 installed in my X10DRI-T4+. The reported CPU temps are 28C/35C at idle and 50C/70C during a stress test (s-tui w stress+lm-sensors) for what I assume are the "front" (CPU1 - coretemp-isa-0000) and "back" (CPU2 - coretemp-isa-0001) CPUs. When I launch the test it...

    How?: Single-threaded -> CPU1 High clock speed. Multi-threaded -> CPU2 high core count

    This could be a big ask, I do not expect something is already out there, just trying: Is it possible to somehow have 2 CPUs: - CPU 1: High clock speed, exclusively used for single threaded operations, e.g. ≥ 4.7 GHz, or even overclocked to 5.4. I know it's TR5 - CPU 2: High core count...

    CPU cooling trick: safe? would you do it?

    Before you read: if you have an allergy to "different ways of doing things" you are gracefully advised to press the exceptionally useful "ignore" button on my profile, that will save you tones of time. There are dual block water coolers for dual CPUs, makes sense, right? 2 CPUs, 2 blocks, 2...

    After 15 years in my 1st career, + >1 decade in a second career (>20 projects), I start my 3rd career (because why not) in a sector that is begging to be shaken up.

    No love for Intel LGA3647?

    Hey. I haven't heard a lot about this socket since they first came out with the weird PHI CPUs that were apparently a dud. Is there a reason they're so frequently passed over? They look super inexpensive on the used market now, basically starting at next to nothing, but the only real...
