I got my first 2U chassis and while I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it exactly I am sure I'm going to do something with it. To that end I need to keep the CPU cool (E5-2670). Is the preferred choice a large flat heatsink like this Dynatron R30 or a more upright unit like a Dynatron R5?
Both are rated up to 160 TDP, which is plenty, both move about the same amount of air and both will fit. I don't have any ducts or ports or plastic air channels so they will depend on whatever air is normally pulled through the chassis. I'm leaning toward the large flat one only because it is 20db quieter at full speed.
Your thoughts?
