[hajsveen]

A good aircooler for the Xeon E5-2697v2?

I dont know alot about its heat output. So i need a cooler recomended

Is the Noctua NH-L12 CPU cooler enough?

you might get away with using the Coolermaster 212X Hyper

TDP is 130W which is quite high...

For reference, a stock 6700K is 95W and a stock E3-1231v3 is 80W.

Ok. I see. The Noctua NH-L12 is clearly not enough.

I'd say no... The aforementioned 212 Evo is good, as it's cheap ($25) and has a TDP max of 180W. There's no way in hell that will fit in a 1U rack mount though.

Coolers can be up to 13cm high in this build.

You can't use the 212 Evo then, it's 15.9cm high. (http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103099)

You can try looking into the Noctua NH-U9S or the NH-U12S as those have 140W TDP and are only 12cm tall.

I found three options:

Be-Quiet Dark Rock TF

Noctua NH-C14S

Be-Quiet Dark Rock Advanced C1

I think the Dark Rock TF is the best option

Thanks for explaining TDP. I founf a cooler myself (Dark Rock TF). The TF had 220TDP and was really compact. Thank you!
