So me and my dad recently found my dad's old server pc. In the motherboard fit 2 CPU's and we want to upgrade it by putting in a GPU and a second CPU.  However, the CPU cooler that is in the PC is very big, and won't fit if we would put in another CPU. So we want to buy 2 coolers that would both fit in the pc. Does anybody know what cooler we should buy that is small enough so that it will fit?
(LGA 1366 if that might help)


Specs:
CPU - Xeon E5504
MOBO - ASUS Z8NA-D6(C)

I would say that you'll need a cooler that's compatible with narrow ILM. (Or atleast that's what Linus called them for Clover Server).

 

Perhaps this matrix will help? https://www.supermicro.com/ResourceApps/Heatsink_Matrix.aspx

That time I saved Linus' WiFi pass from appearing on YouTube:
