Hi

Wanting to active cool my 1u XeonD build.

Looking for a plug and play solution, no removing board to change backplates for example

Will SNK-C0054A4L work on my setup?

Um ... you may want to specify the chassis used.
In your previous post it was a 1U.
If that is still the case you are using, it will barely fit - as in may touch top of case.
As referenced in another post (FCPGA 1667 heatsink thread) - you want the "57A4L" for a 1u case.

The "57" is in the middle ... the "54" is on the left .. you can see the height difference.

From that same thread ....

I didn't feel so good about removing the backplate, and I didn't want to be That Guy
that destroyed a motherboard trying to do it.

I ended up just swapping the screws off the original heatsink.
Look at Supermicro Xeon D / FCBGA 1667 Heatsink information

Those screw retaining rings are optional. This was much easier and safer to me and didn't even require me to remove the motherboard from the chassis.
