I've been looking into getting a M11SDV-8CT board but would need an active cpu cooler due to space constraints. Unfortunately Supermicro doesn't seem to currently offer the active cooler present on the -8C+ and I haven't had any luck finding information on the footprint or any compatible coolers.

Would anyone with one be able to check if the alternate coolers for, say, the X10SDVs (something like the Cooljag BUF-A) would fit, or know of aftermarket coolers for whatever footprint is used by Epyc 3000 motherboards?

Sorry, I don't feel like pulling mine out of the rack, but I will say that passively cooling it with the stock heatsink and a few FAN-0100L4 fans in a 1U case works fine for me, and I can't imagine something more space constrained.
