HSF for Dual Opteron 275 s940's

[bigtm135]

I'm making a Mid Tower Server pc using 2x dualcore opteron 275's s940. I don't really want to use the stock hsf and I cant decide on a good one for it. I know I want to use a HSf and not water cooling or anything that requires alot of room. If anyone has any suggestions i'd be greatful. The motherboard is an extended atx

How about the Thermalright XP or SI-90?

Is the thermalright XP small enough so i can fit 2 of them on the dual s940 board?

I can't say for sure but I would think so. If not the Alpha PAL-8150 should definitely fit and still give you very good performance.

those are 715 grams each T_T would the mobo be able to support 2 of them without much stress?

Consider cruising the forums at http://www.2cpu.com/

It's a kind of quiet forum but alot of good info can be found there.

Yes it will be fine. They have a low center of gravity so they won't actually be putting much stress at all on the board.

If you have the newer quad heatpipe / 80mm stock coolers, they may be worth trying out. Those are supposed to be quite good.
