I need to build a Silent Rackmount system for AV.
Currently looking at:
Lian Li PC-C32,
ASUS P8Z68-V PRO Mobo.
Seasonic X-560
and need to choose a CPU cooler.
Tempted to get a fanless, but need recommendations given their will be height restrictions.
And then hook up a "Near Silent Fan" on the MId case bracket.
So... I am interested in recommendations for Best CPU cooler for Socket 1155 for a 4U case.

Re: New Rackmount silent build for a friend
do you happen to know the max height you have to work with?
sadlt it seems like goings to be close to 120-130mm. I beleive most of the bigger towers are closer to 160mm, but others on here would know better than me

Not really.
The Lian li site http://www.lian-li.com/v2/en/product/pr ... =68&g=spec says height is 167mm (assuming edge to edge - so less some for mobo and cpu)
I know from here:http://xsreviews.co.uk/2011/02/lian-li-pc-c32/3/ that the Noctua NH-U12 is too tall, and that's 158mm
so maybe 130mm is my max.

this list is mostly LGA775 but alot of them should have kits I would think

I ended up with the Noctua NH9. Fitted well, and oriented right I didn't need to use the case fans in the Lian Li.
