I bought a SuperMicro MBD-X8DAH+-F-O Dual socket LGA 1366 motherboard and Xeon W5590's, but the chips didn't come with any heatsinks. I have some LGA 1366 Intel heatsinks from some i7 chips but they don't seem to fit into the motherboard holes (they're in the same spots as they're 1366 too but the holes on this motherboard seem smaller). This leads me to believe that normal LGA 1366 heatsinks don't fit this motherboard (or perhaps all xeon chips?).
Do I need a special heatsink for this board and if so do you have any recommendations for what to get? Any price, just want the best heatsink that'll fit.
