1 AM PROJECT GOGOGOG
high end gamer heatsinks: lapped to an unsettlingly crisp mirror finish of minimal optical aberration
OEM server heatsinks: my fingernail gets caught on the linear tool marks of this contact surface. oh well

do u think dell would do me a solid and gimme the BOM/kit bits to solder in a second cpu
seems a fun weekend project right
oh its configuring ram
oh its configuring the idrac that doesnt exist
oh the fans are MAXED
fingies cwossed
oOH MY GOD THAT WAS NOT MAXIMUM
IT HAS NEVER BEEN THIS LOUD WGHAT THE DRAC CONFIG FAILED IM SCARED
F4GRX Sébastien@qualia we have a proliant here that refuse to start because a fan is in an incorrect state and the bios is just like nope, not gonna happen. We've tried a dozen of replacements at this point. No replacement fan is exactly similar to the original fan, so the bios refuses them all.
The only way to make it boot is strap the tacho output from another working fan and inject it in the connector of the failed fan. That shit extremely sucks.
@f4grx i think HP is the only manufacturer that manages to make more tenaciously irritating proprietary BS than dell, in my limited experience
my workstation's cpu cooler has a bizarro 6 pin fan connector with like one loose pin that i had to reinstall & solder back in place as the lead had wiggled loose & wire snapped off from it. thing absolutely would not boot in any other configuration than having that specific fan in that specific header. it's still distressingly fragile. ugh
