I am building a dual Xeon box and am appalled at the noise level of Intel's stock fans that ship with the Xeon. I want to swap them out, preferably along with the heatsink, but can't find aftermarket Socket 603 products.

Will socket 478 heatsinks work in the retention mechanism for the Socket 603? How about Socket 423 products. I can't seem to find a definitive guide to dimensional specs for each to compare them myself.

I am using a Tyan mobo, S2668ANR. This mobo has the procs mounted parallel to each other, making space a little tight.

Any help in identifying a solution would be greatly appreciated!
