Unknown Heat Sink

[DigiMat]

Hello guys,

 

I have a friend who needs to find a spare heat sink, for a bull novascale server.

He wants to setup a third Xeon E7-4850, and obviously needs to find a third cooler for that. I included somes pictures of the server and the cooler he has.

 

After some intensive research, I did found some LGA1567 heat sink, but none of them seems right. The closet thing I found was the Intel E45309-007, which it too tall, compared to the cooler he already got.

 

I know that's something thats way too much old, but he wants to try anyway, so anything, any piece of information will be appreciated.

Its likely custom for that enclosure.

One of these perhaps? http://store.supermicro.com/heatsink.html?heat_sink_supported_cpu_socket=681

Not identical, but they are for that socket, so it may work.

Its the wrong orientation.  Notice the orientation of the mounting holes vs the direction of the fins.  It would not get any airflow.

i would say they are proprietary, the problem you have is getting something that fits close together with the rest, Looking at the CPU layout, you have very little room for NOT having ones the exact size required. 

 

What model of Novascale is it ? Your best bet might be to reach out to Novascale and see if they can help you source one ? Regardless of age they generally have some stuff laying around in storage.

I know this may sound stupid but do you think there is a way to liquid cool it?

If you can fab brackets for "universal" CPU blocks, yes.

Ah yeah. Nevermind then.

If you can get the equipment for that socket, and fit it in there, no reason why you couldn't.

I also found similar to the one you found on ebay... Perhaps look for the heatsink that fits to HP Proliant DL580 G7? They are the same socket and similar in size. Or Quanta E45309-006 CPU Heatsink looks close.

Hope I helped at least a bit. Anyways good luck finding

I'm not sure he wanna try to liquid cool the server, but it could be a last try solution.

The Quanta E45309-006 Heatsink looks close indeed. In fact, it looks the same as the Intel E453309-007 I found earlier, but this only is likely 3 or 4U, where the right one seems to be its little brother, a 2U version. It may lead to something

The HP Proliant DL580 G7 one look too tall, and the screws do not fit. We already tried a Supermicro heatsink for this socket, but it didn't fit either 

 

I will ask him if he can find the precise novascale model, that should be usefull indeed.

 

Anyway, thanks for the answers, I'll keep you guys in touch
