G5 dual 2.0ghz powermac Faulty processor problem.
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.

They didn't charge me as they couldn't offer a fix. It did start behaving again for a few days but has started crashing again. I have disabled one processor and it still crashes so I think the problem is with the master processor. I don't feel I've got anything to lose from trying to re-seat the processor.

Disable the other processor first. As far as I know there is no "Master Processor".

I have only found instructions to disable one processor and I'm sure I read on one site that one processor is set up as master and one as slave. CPU pref pane will only allow me to disable one of the processors and not the other.
