SilverStone TechnologyXE04-SP5 Black Fan Shroud 4U Server/Workstation CPU Cooler for Socket SP5, SST-XE04-SP5B

It's a well built cooler and keeps the CPU temps low in a very hot environment. It was easy to install and I even left the factory applied thermal transfer paste on it. It seems to be good quality. Even if it is running 100% it is not obnoxiously loud. You definitely know it's running but it's a server heat sink they all are loud.

This CPU cooler works perfectly fine, however, with the incredibly high rpm, it is very noisy. There aren't a lot of options out there for the 2011 socket, so I'd most likely recommend going to a AIO liquid cooler. This is the recommendation of Bewyac Group Computers at BewyacComputers.com.Good Product for Server WorkstationsNot Great for office or residential settings

This arrived in SilverStone branded box, but this is a carbon copy of the SM SNK-P0064AP4 HSF. I don't know who OEMs this HSF, but it's obvious they supply multiple companies.The even has the Nidec 4-pin 92mm fan, same as what comes on the SM version. Every detail is identical, down to the 4 mounting screws that slide sideways into multiple positions. Comes with TIM pre-installed.You will see various TDPs listed from 200-280 watts. SM rates this at 280w, but I'd be cautious at that power level and ensure my case has wind tunnel ventilation.I'm using this with an Epyc 7443P, which has a TDP of 200 watts, in a Proxmox host which really only sees about 50% utilization, max. This is a 4U home server with low-speed fans to keep the racket down. CPU temps hover in the mid-40C range, which is entirely acceptable in a jam-packed 4U case with normal 120mm case fan ventilation.Also, note that this HSF points in the proper direction, towards the back of the case, as it should be. I love Noctua HSFs, but their U9 (I think it's U9) HSF for Socket SP3, for a 4U case fits sideways and would blow hot air at the PSU, not OUT OF the case as it should be.Highly recommended.

I brought this item for a AMD EPYC 7262 Processor w/Supermicro H12SSL-i motherboard build. It looks exactly like the recommended Supermicro 4U Heatsink SNK-P0064AP4. I haven't installed the board into the Chassis yet, but so far everything is ok

Horrible vibration. This is for model XE02-4677; The fan is not balanced properly. At full rotational speed, it vibrates quite badly. Because the heatsink is attached firmly to the motherboard, the entire board vibrates at high frequency, to the point where I'd be concerned about eventual intermittent connections in DRAM and PCIe slots.

very easy to install, pre-applied thermal compound is nice for SP3. much quieter than expected, can barely hear it even under full load.

I Installed in my 2u custom build and it fitted perfectly. This fan is loud enough disturb. Perhaps in future I will replace it. It’s adequate.

There are very few options available for AMD Genoa's processor. My cooler's fan became noticeably noisy after a few months of use
