I've recently built a server with 2x LGA771 quad core (2.33 GHz x4 each Xeons) processors. This server will be used for extremely processor intensive research. The CPUs are going to run at 70-100% load across all cores for a hundred hours at a time. I'm running a duct into the intake of the case directly from the building's AC system :wahoo:.

The stock coolers aren't good enough. All the socket 771 coolers (all two of them) on Newegg are garbage. Does anyone have any experience with a good 771 heatsink / fan combo? Cost isn't much of an issue.

P.S. I of course fully intend to use Arctic cleaner followed by Arctic Silver 5.
