Yes you can just zip tie them on, I zip tied a stock amd cooler on as shown in the pic below. Much cheaper than buying LGA771 coolers as they are kinda expensive

Hey!

After seeing the brutally cheap computer Linus build with old serverhardware I wanted to do it but build a home server. 
I got hold of 2 xeon cpu 4core, motherboard and RAM. 
I now wonder if you have any tips for the CPU cooling. Socket is 771 but I'm all for modding. The keyword is cheap. So far i spend 1000sek (100euro) and I would like it to be as cheap as possible cause I'm a student ATM. 

So, can I just buy two cheap heatsinks and mod it on with sipties? 

Sorry for the bad spelling, I'm Swedish :D

Here is the motherboard:  http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon1333/5000P/X7DBP-i.cfm


Best Regards!

Its probably rubbish and loud, but it will work.
