Two processors combined into a single assembly.
Two processors combined into a single assembly.
You're using a dual-slot motherboard with two Xeon X5450 processors. You're asking if you can combine them using OBTH (Open Block Technology) for better performance.
Which motherboard are you using? You can utilize several dual LG 771 boards to run two within a single system.
A motherboard featuring two CPU sockets can support two CPUs without issues. There are specific guidelines on which CPUs can be paired, but the positive point is that Xeon processors beginning with an X (like the X5450) are built to work together efficiently—typically up to four or more in this generation, with the ability to expand to eight or more.
Yes, I retain information about both CPUs. Both sockets appear functional. Each processor operates independently.
