T3500 upgrade
Hi,
Thanks guys for all modding informations about the T3500.. Im a very old user of these workstations.
Im looking for an upgrade now.. And i have 2 questions..
The currently using a garbage ram config. But it runs just fine with no errors at the startup, 2gb+2+4+2+2+4 its basically 16gb in total, i wanna get ride of the 2gb.. And get a single 8gb.. Im wondering if 8+4+4 will work good as a triple channel config ?
Second question is the northbride.. How can i remove the heatsink from the northbridge.. Should i just pull back the brackets ? Its running quiet hot and i want to apply some fresh thermal paste on it..
Thanks

PlayedbyHatem I can't verify if your proposed memory configuration will work or not. I try to stick to the optimized memory configurations to maximize performance. Let me know if it you end up getting it to work.
There are 4 screws holding down the heatsink. You can remove them using a philips screw driver. Then clean off the old thermal grease from the heatsink and cpu and apply fresh thermal grease before reinstalling.
Do you have the upgraded copper heatsink installed?

Jbigticket23 hi again,
Well for the ram i'm just gonna risk it, but if anyone is able to test it before i purchase the ram that will be greatly appreciate.
I was able to mix ecc and non ecc memory in old configuration in order dimm 1 3 5 ecc and dimm 2 4 6 non ecc.. And its actually working
For the heatsink part, im not talking about the cpu heatsink.. Im talking about the northbridge heatsink.. I will attach a picture..

I think no one removed the northbridge heatsink before.. Well thanks for the help anyway,

It was never meant to be removed. However, you could remove it and reapply fresh thermal grease.

Hi all,
I have a Dell T3500, Chip W3565. Memory 24gb
Is it possible to upgrade to 48gb, as your youtube was showing.
Best,
Iwan
