Hi folks
I'm about to upgrade the lowly E5-2609 Xeons in my Lenovo Thinkstation D30. These have a TDP of 80W each.
The E5-2667s I'm going to replace them with have a much higher TDP of 130W each.
What I'm wondering is if the stock heatsinks Lenovo supplied will handle the hotter chips?
I have searched and can't find any pictures showing any alternative coolers fitted to a D30 other than upgrades done by users so it seems that Lenovo supplied the same quite weedy looking dual heatpipe coolers with all D30s regardless of the CPUs fitted.
