I looked at the SuperMicro fan matrix here - Supermicro | Support | System Fan Matrix, the fans are all high airflow.

If the motherboard comes with a passive heatsink, will an Arctic F8 be enough? Its pretty low airflow compared to the default ones. The cpu I'm thinking of is L5640, TDP 60W.

Or would you recommend getting a new cpu cooler with fans?
