Hi all,

I'm in the process of building up my home lab and I just snagged a Supermicro X8DTI and two L5630s (40W TDP 4c/8t) on ebay for a couple hundred bucks. I plan to toss this into my big rocketfish/lianli case, but I can use some recommendations on what to use for a heatsink/fan. My goal is for this system to be pretty quiet, so no screamers can be installed here. I was thinking about buying a couple CM 212 Evos but I don't want to drop $70 on the two heatsinks if they won't fit for whatever reason on the motherboard.

Does anyone have any suggestions for compatible heatsinks that are less than $40/ea (and the less the better) and still quiet?

Thanks for any help you can provide!


Edit:

After some searching, went over to STH and found this:

Great recommendations in there, went with dual supermicro heatsinks that are supposed to max out around 20dB

It looks like you already found your answer.

I was going to ask what size case you are using, as I have 3x Dual 1366 Xeon Builds in my house.
