Not sure if this is the right place, but don't suppose anyone knows where to get a compatible heat sink for CPU1 for an L5630 in a C2100 that doesn't cost 4x that of the CPU? :(

Do the C6100 heatsinks work?

all the x5500 and x5600 series should have the same heatsink. the only variant would be excessive wattage or the crazy mac-pro de-lidded cpu's which nobody probably sees around here.

Custom heatsinks are a pita though!

Might work I'd have to check capability. Visually the c6100 is 1u height and the c2100 is 2u. I'm guessing the smaller unit in the taller system wouldn't have the same forced airflow and may not cool as well. But otherwise the holes obviously seem to line up. Fan/fin/airflow direction might be off as well....
