Active or passive Gold 6136?

[liquidbings]

Hello. My first post but been reading these forums for a good while now. I hope everyone is well!

I have a Supermicro SuperStorage 6049P-E1CR36L currently running 2 Silver 4114 with the stock passive heatsinks. It is running about 40c idle and 50-60 when running about 50-75% loads.

I just purchased a couple Gold 6136 and am wondering if these current Heatsinks will be up to the task? Or if I'll need to up them to the active models. They claim to be rated for up to 205W TDP I will be replacing the thermal compound with the TG Hydronaut regardless.

Opinions? Thank you kindly

Opinions?

The gold 6136 are 150 watt tdp chips, the heatsinks (snk-p0068ps) should be "good enough" based on the specs.
Personally I would try the active heatsinks (SNK-P0068APS4). In my previous tests with 836 & 846 storage + 745 tower chassis the combination of active heatsinks + airshroud resulted in the "coolest" and quietest system with a lot of capacity for hot summer days

should be fine, no worries.

What speed are the fans running at? I guess not very high. System is rated for 205W CPUs so I guess it will work perfectly well.
