What socket?

[jameshumphries47]

1150

[jameshumphries47]

or a LGA 1567 depending on what I choose

EK Supreme LTX is about 45 dollars, not the best block in the world though. Generally you get what you pay for.

thanks I only need them for a possible idea of mine for watercooled rack mounted servers

XSPC RASA. a lot of upgrading will make these surface pretty inexpensively.

fits Intel sockets 775, 1150,1155,1156,13656, and 2011.

You get what you pay for, there are generic CPU blocks from China on eBay for $20-25 which may do the trick but what if you need support from the manufacturer?

[jameshumphries47]

as im saying its for a custom built servers ill build in a rack so I want em decent

[VSG]

Are you seriously watercooling a server rack? That's new. 

 

Anyway, go for a branded block that isn't too old like the aforementioned EK Supreme LTX or Koolance 360/370.

thanks the thing is a servers have dual cpu with a uncommon socket so the only way around this is to custom build all the servers. with a common socket so I can get the waterblocks on there. the reason I am watercooling as I cant have a lot of noise in the house so ill build my own giant resovoir and I will have a water chiller for pc watercooling to cooling the water.

One of the best ones out there with support for every socket

The raystorm from XSPC is  a pretty good heatsink. I don´t see anything wrong with it. And usually if it fits socket 1155 it will fit socket 1150 as well.
