Compatibility and service
- Needs Kentsfield-capable board/chipset and BIOS; confirm board power rating
- B3 SL9UM (105 W) differs from G0 SLACR (95 W); check S-spec
- Record S-spec, package/date code and board BIOS; inspect socket contacts
- Confirm board manual, exact CPU support list, firmware, voltage/power, memory and cooling before use; never force a package.
Service & archival notes
Record S-spec, package/date code and board BIOS; inspect socket contacts
Photograph package, markings, contacts and date/lot codes before repair. Log host board, BIOS/microcode, memory, cooler, condition, provenance and source revision.
