stretch Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 What would be a good cpu cooler to use when upgrading to an E3 1220 it has a TDP of 80w https://www.amazon.co.uk/ARCTIC-Alpine-11-Pro-Anti-Vibration/dp/B003JGMVUE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1518710771&sr=8-1&keywords=LGA+cooler https://www.amazon.co.uk/Akasa-AK-CC7117EP01-Performance-LGA1156-LGA1155/dp/B005J2IS3U/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1518710743&sr=8-3&keywords=akasa+LGA+cooler https://www.amazon.co.uk/Akasa-AK-CC7118HP01-Profile-Intel-Cooler/dp/B005O6518Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1518710743&sr=8-1&keywords=akasa+LGA+cooler https://www.amazon.co.uk/Akasa-AK-955V2-CPU-Cooler-LGA115x/dp/B004V3P8G8/ref=sr_1_32?s=computers&rps=1&ie=UTF8&qid=1518710875&sr=1-32&keywords=LGA+cooler&refinements=p_36%3A428445031%2Cp_76%3A419158031 something else?

schoondoggy Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 What server are you putting the E3-1220 in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schoondoggy Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I think the factory heatsink should work. Looking at quickspecs, page 3, two of the CPU choices from the factory are 80w: https://h20195.www2.hpe.com/v2/GetPDF.aspx/c04567802.pdf Looking at the service manual, page 18, there appears to be only one heatsink: https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?sp4ts.oid=7796450&docLocale=en_US&docId=emr_na-c04622389 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H00GiE Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I'm using a E3-1270 v3 (80W tdp) in this server with the original heatsink and shroud. At 9-17% fan speed (barely audible) the CPU stays exactly at 40°C (104°F) even under heavy load. The fan has short rev ups every time the CPU is starting to get used full blast, 3 seconds later the cooling fan revs down again while still at at 100% CPU usage. The hottest surface in my server is actually the raid controller heatsink. (even when actively cooled) Remember the specifications of these servers are set with a lot of headroom in mind, so the performance does not change in hot climates or heavy loads... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretch Posted February 16, 2018 Author Share Posted February 16, 2018 Thanks everyone looks like the factory heatsink will do the job, I thought it may need one with a fan as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
