Iceage 120 Prima Boss or Iceage 120 Plus Raijentek Aidos (similar to the CM TX-3 and Contac 21 but cannot add a 2nd fan) Coolermaster TX-3 (similar to the 212+ and Evo but smaller and cheaper, uses a 92mm PWM fan, and allows for a 2nd fan, but does not work for Socket 1366) Thermaltake Contac 21 (Similar to the CM TX-3 and also allows adding a 2nd fan)

Yea Frostytech is great! According to benchmarks I've found that these CPU coolers to be the best at cooling and that should fit in a 4U server case (if you can find them and if they are worth the extra couple degrees): They are pretty much the same except the Evo has the heat pipes connected where it contacts the CPU: Benchmarks. Thanks in advance!Īlso here is an article comparing the benchmarks of a 212+ vs a 212 Evo. I was under the impression that most consumer CPU coolers like the CM Hyper 212 + and the Noctua CPU coolers were taller than this and would not fit into a 4U server case? The CM Hyper 212+ is 159mm in height for instance. And I'm not sure the height clearance in a 3U Supermicro SC836 case either.

I have not measured it in a Supermicro SC846 4U case. Has anybody measured how much space is actually available for mounting a tower cooler into a 4U enclosure? I've measured the clearance to be about 150mm (just barely) in a Norco 4220/4224 case.

I also found an article explaining how to mount older Noctua heatsinks to a server motherboard: Intel Xeon Nehalem + Noctua? | Tech Caddie Great writeup I wish I would have seen it sooner! I just bought some Supermicro SNK-P0040AP4 active heatsinks, which should work fine, but I would have used my CM Hypers that I have laying around instead!
#HYPER 212 EVO INSTALL UPGRADE#
dropped temps significantly figured, why not upgrade my thermal compound after what 10 yearS? LOL I have some Shin-EtsuMicroSI but not sure I'm going to use it. On the new builds I switched to GELID EXTREME because in all the 'web tests/reviews' it was the only one that was 1. we'll seeįWIW: I used Artic Silver 5, and same I used on my SM HSF too. When I start loading up VMs that are active is a concern because some may cause high loads for 5-15min bursts.
#HYPER 212 EVO INSTALL SOFTWARE#
I can play Battlefield4 w/lots of other misc software running for work (no vms, etc) and load doesn't even approach 40%. I got some 3000rpm noctua industrial to put on there but for the $$ using those in my servers for less sound, and then will eventually replace the 5930k/hsf or comboįor what it's worth, and sorry to hijack. It's a MSI board and I have the PWM controls myself, it ramps up to max RPMs on the CPU cooler but isn't able to control the temp in PRIME95 w/high heat load. Yes PWM fans, I added a NOTUA on the other side too, and I have an exhaust fan right there, it comes in the front through the cooler and right out the back.
