Has anyone got any recommendations for heat sinks for Lga 1366 socket?

I own a Hp z600 workstation and looking to upgrade my stock heat sinks on my Xeon x5650.

Idle temps are 67c and full load 81c+.

Anyone know of a decent heat sink on market atm which would fit?

Space wise is pretty limited, here's Tower pics: link plus i will need 2x, not too bothered budget wise.

Cheers Doyll, Im not sure what the motherboard to cover measurements are or how to get hold of that info? I've not upgraded from stock heatsinks before so I'm a noob when figuring out what will fit.

Its a HP 0B54h board, I've googled for dimensions but cant really find anything, i can open up the case and measure stuff if required?

I assumed that LGA 1366 would would fit the screw holes on the board due to being same size CPU? i will assume some brackets will not fit.. making it no so straight forward?

Cheers again! sorry for being a pain.
 
Motherboard to side cover and RAM height above motherboard are usually where peeps run into problems.

All I could find is overall size is (HxWxD) 445.1 x 165.3 x 440mm. How far from side the face of motherboard is determines (-8mm) is the maximum height of cooler that will fit. A wild guess is about 145mm, but without more data I can't be of much help.
 
I will have a look tomorrow, was planning on changing TIM on my cpu's so worst case I can bust out a measuring tape.

The Ram is covered by a fan + cover, its one of the downside of having a Hp workstation is customising them is slightly limitied. I will keep you updated. Cheers for the help Doyll.
 
Hi Doyll,

Sorry for the super late reply, totally forgot to upload info for this post..

Better late than never :)

The dimensions from board to case is 14cm so pretty much what you thought.

Current heatsink is 10cm x 6.5cm x 9cm (HxWxD) (Ive attached a couple of images to show exactly what I'm working with).

The distance between each screw is 9.cm x 9cm

Cheers!
