HP Z840 CPU and cooling upgrade | HP Z Cooler vapor chamber heatsink unboxing & install
Up until this video was made, I only had a "testing" CPU in my HP Z840. So today I'm installing a pair of Xeon E5-2680 v4 CPUs and additional 64GB of RAM for a total of 128GB. Along with the CPU upgrade, I'll also be upgrading the CPU cooling system with HP's own "Z Cooler" solution.
The HP Z Cooler is a vapor chamber based CPU heatsink design. Instead of just using heatpipes and fins to remove heat from the CPU, the Z Cooler uses a vapor chamber and a unique "wave fin" design that increase the surface area of the cooling fins. I'll be doing an unboxing and showing you up close what this HP Z Cooler looks like.
During the install of the CPUs, RAM, and HP Z Cooler, I ran into a few installation problems, but they were manageable. However, upon first boot up, I got a red power button light and 5-beep error code. This is an indicator of RAM related error. However, in the end, the solution turned out to be re-seating of CPU.
For the impatient, here's the video index:
