Can anyone confirm height restrictions? 60mm or so?Thought I'd note for anyone contemplating a build with this.. that the scythe big shuriken rev 2b at 58mm is under the 61/62mm height restriction for this case.
I would say yes. All passively cooled solutions rely on existing case ventilation. There're no ventilation in top-section of that case. Not sure if replacing 60mm fan will help though. You may want to attach some fan on top of that passive rad.From my research, I believe that even though these comes with a passive HSF they require active cooling and rely on the chassis to do so. Is this true? If so, will replacing the 60mm fan with a Nocturna generate enough airflow to keep the CPU cool? If not what are my options?
ok, thanks for the response. Is there a suggested way to mount a fan to a heatsink in a secure way, or is there a heatsink that will work with FCBGA-1310 sockets? I did see the STH article about replacing the HS with an aftermarket HSF for the old Xeon-D boards with a 51mm HSF, however could not find any reference on Supermicro's site as to how they size their heatsinks so you know which size to buy.I would say yes.

I was thinking of some watercooling solution. That way all I need to do is bring radiator next to fans. You'll use some low-power CPU, so it will be easy task, even with limited airflow. On top of that, there're only a few coolers that will fit "narrow ILM" mount.It is very tight in the MB section of that case. If you aren't using any add-in cards at all, maybe with some creative ducting you could get enough cooling in there with that fan. Otherwise, you may have to consider altering the top of the case to get enough clearance to mount a fan on top of that heatsink.
My bad, I meant 4x32gb ddr4.The board seems to include onboard SAS3008 so you probably don't need that 9211-8i. RAM is kinda low for what you are planning to do IMO and I think you definitely need higher wattage PSU (350W min). You may also want to change out the include fan for something higher CFM.
Thanks for the thoughts.. more to think about.I got exact same board and I'm really curious if you can make it work.
Keep in mind that board have Narrow ILM mount, and Schyte comes in Square ILM.
As previously said - you don't need 9200-8i, as board have intergrated SAS controller, which get's pretty hot btw.
Have you actually tested this heatsink as working or is this all conjecture? When I reached out to u-nas they told me 52mm was the limit, but I haven’t measured. I was thinking I might be able to get away with an LP53, but this would be far better if it fits.Thought I'd note for anyone contemplating a build with this.. that the scythe big shuriken rev 2b at 58mm is under the 61/62mm height restriction for this case. It's also the only cooler (That I've found so far) short of a noiser industrial server cooler that will fit LGA 2011-3. and work well with 95 - 120w TDP cpus. (square-ilm). as I'm planning on using a matx x99 board for mine. (x99 supports ECC UDIMM with xeons)
Conjecture for me. I've read some that say up to 60mm so (shrug)Have you actually tested this heatsink as working or is this all conjecture?

If you’ve done it, pics please!
I have an NH-L9i in mine and from a glance, sure doesn't seem like there is that much additional space, but I am not in a place to tear it down and measure it at the moment.Conjecture for me. I've read some that say up to 60mm so (shrug)
Anyone able to measure who has one?
