LGA 771 Cooling

[iRedstoneEater]

I currently have a Dell Precision 490, of which I've bought 2 Intel Xeon 5160's (Dual Core, 3GHz) to replace the single Xeon 5110. But there's a slight problem. Of all my searching I've done, I cannot find an air cooler for the LGA 771 socket. Any and all help is appreciated.

Have seen, as I mentioned I am looking for air cooling. Those 2 air coolers are sold out everywhere.

then I'm afraid you'll have to find some intel xeon stock coolers or something from supermicro

Someone on the Overclockers forum was asking the same thing. https://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php/783577-CPU-Coolers-for-LGA771-Socket

 All I could find are stock coolers, and other random stuff on Newegg and Amazon.

Problem here is that its server socket. And its not intercompatible with same generation desktop sockets. I tried once searching these too. Found out that when 771 was a thing, custom cooling servers wasn't yet. Custom cooling normal desktops just started of being a mainstream thing.

Yeah.  You could always look for coolers out of the HP XW8600/XW8400 workstations on ebay.  The socket is standardized, so the HSF out of any workstation with socket 771 CPUs will work.  You may need to re-pin fan connectors though.
