I'm needing to find two cheap but reasonably performing cpu coolers to fit to an Asus Z10PE-D8-WS (Socket 2011-3) using dual 14 core Xeon V3's.

I'm only going to be using them for testing the cpu's and having it run as a very early stage "dirty build" until I move it over to being WC.

Any suggestions, based on reasonable performance but not silly money.

Thanks
 
I believe this one is one of the best budget coolers:
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO (Model RR-212E-20PK-R2).

Not sure if overclockers sell this model with 2011 compatibility but Cooler master made this cooler compatible with 2011 socket.
 
What direction do you want them to mount?
Will you be using the top PCIe socket?

Little photoshop scaling shows 135mm between center of CPUs and 63mm center CPU side of 1s5 PCIe socket.

Edit:
If you are not using 1st PCIe socket, you could use a couple of the TRUE Spirit 140 Power coolers no problem. They perform the same as NH-D14 SE2011 (0.7c warmer and 2.8dBA quieter). ;)

Hey lloyd, em I'm only really gonna be running temporary like this just until I fully test the cpu's and decide exactly where the board is gonna live, can't decide if in Midas case or go for Caselabs and do a whole new project.

I'll check out those coolers you guys have mentioned, I also like the Bequiet Pure Rock
 
If you have some time, keep an eye on the Clearance Lines on OcUK. They sometimes have some great deals. There are a couple of Raijintek Pallas pancake coolers for £25.00 each. Too bad they aren't towers.

I have several extra coolers but no pairs. Maybe someone else has one like one of mine and we can loan them to you. Then all you would have is the cost of posting to and fro.

Stulid, I was looking at the 2011 only version seems like the right one for me. Does the one you have come with the 2011 fixing? I can't seem to find much info on the version you linked to even on their own website.

*EDIT* Sorry mate I just read your link thread properly I missed you state its 2011 only, so yes I'm interested. I'll send Trust
