Xeon scalable processors - CPU heatsink/cooler

Hi everyone,

Building a tower S2600STB/P4304XXMFEN2 system, but Intel Server Builder indicates passive CPU cooling, part number AXXSTPHMKIT.

Naturally, up here in Canada, can't find this part anywhere in distribution, only ASI has it sku'ed and no stock.

Has anyone used other CPU coolers (like Dynatron) that work well ? Should I go with an active solution w/fan or passive in this tower case ?

Merry XMas to everyone here in the Intel discussion boards !

Hello dsquad,

 

 

We have not validated other heatsinks for these processors. I would recommend contacting other resellers in your area for availability

 

 

locate.intel.com

 

 

If anyone else in this community has tried a different heatsink feel free to share your feedback. Intel always recommends using validated hardware to avoid unforeseen issues.

 

 

Best regards,

 

David A.

Hi Kenneth,

No, unfortunately, nobody at Intel could help me... No heatsink could be found in distribution, so I turned to Dynatron for an active CPU cooler (B13) that does the trick (I don't know, I just can trust passive cooling... model B12 (passive) could have done the trick, but I figured might as well go active !).

FYI : works like a charm

For anyone else that's in the same situation as me (always waiting for parts from intel) : these guys seem to have all CPU types covered... They sell them at NewEgg.ca.

Intel , you have to step up and be able to get us the parts needed for us canadian resellers to sell your servers ! Always have to wait weeks in order to get every part needed to build one server... I can buy a Lenovo ThinkServer and pretty much 90 percent of the time I get everything the next business day...
