Question Dell precision 690 dual cpu motherboard

[baraa123]

Hi guys,
I have Dell precision 690 workstation with Intel Xeon 5060 3.2ghz
As you know the Dell precision 690 Mobo has dual cpu sockets .
My cpu_0 socket is damaged and when I put the cpu in it and power on the PC the power button start blinking orange with diagnostic lights : 2/3/4
But when I put the cpu in socket cpu_1
The PC works but gives alert : cpu installed in the incorrect socket
I press F1 and continue normally
Is putting the cpu in cpu_1 socket safe or not and will it affect the cpu speed?
Thank You..

I doubt it will affect the speed at all to that CPU. That is where benchmarking can come in, but you would need a comparison of the original setup before it was broken to use that. If you ran a benchmark on the system before it broke, run one on it now and see what the results are.

No I didn't run a benchmark before but know as you know the PC is workstation and in benchmark it is just 12% for workstation use
