I’ve got a g5 dual 2.0ghz. I am about to remove one of the processors as apple have indicated that one is faulty. My question is are they inter changeable and can the processor be removed from the heatsink as I want to re apply thermal paste to see if that solves problem, however a couple of sites have warned against separating processor and sink.

Do not do this unless you have the original install disks with the fan syncing software or AHD. Some of these can run with just one processor. Yes the processors can be removed and changed. Would you tell us HOW Apple arrived at their conclusion?
