[SOLVED] Cooling for Xeon e5-2420

[Gem32]

Hi,
I recently bought a Xeon e5-2420 from eBay without the heat sink. When I went to buy one the only ones I could find that wasn’t passive was £30. I was wondering if there was something I’m missing or if a different Xeon heat sink would work instead. I live in England so I may not be able to get some parts from other places.
Thanks.

LGA1356/1366 Cooler Help

Hi, I'm trying to put together a home server at the moment and have everything ready apart from the CPU coolers. I'm doing a dual Xeon build with the Asus Z9NA-D6 motherboard. It has LGA1356 sockets but they're really close together and so I don't know what cooler to get. I was planning to get so...

Well as indication, some say it may not be compatible, some say it is, its all depended which motherboard do you have?

Noctua does list 1356 support tho? But it seems quite "Expensive" for 60-90$.
