I recently found a pair of Xeon E5-2643 v2 on eBay for 200 ish dollars and so I decided to build a workstation/gaming computer using those chips.

In order to house the two Xeon chips, I'm going to be using a Z9PA-D8 motherboard by ASUS.

As for now, I'm really confused as to what CPU Coolers will fit onto my server motherboard. I've heard that server motherboards tend don't fit some CPU coolers. Additionally, if you look at a photo of the motherboard, the two CPU sockets look awfully close together and I think most heatsinks might not fit onto both (one obstructing the other).

Anyway, can anyone recommend me CPU coolers for this setup? I"m not really looking for liquid cooling since that will run me far above my budget.

Thanks!
 
Okay about that. But looking at the compatible heatsinks, i'm really not sure if its going to fit onto my motherboard, which doesn't give lengths either. Do you know of an other possible solution?
