I got some new 2699v3 CPUs for my DL380 Gen9. The existing CPUs are also V3 (so not a V3 vs. V4 difference), and I thought this would be an "easy upgrade", but when I went to install them, the blue "CPU carrier clip" doesn't fit around the 2699v3 packaging.
Looking at ark.intel.com, the 2699v3 has a package size of 52.5mm x 51mm which is 6mm bigger than other V3 CPUs which are only 52.5mm x 45mm ... never realized there was package size difference until now.
I see clips being sold on eBay, but I have no idea how to find ones that would fit the 2699v3 and wouldn't be too small like the ones I already have.
Any suggestions?
