on Asus Z7S WS http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_I...OHj&templete=3

to cool two Xeons 5430 ?

If not what coolers woudl you recommend for such rig?
I guess that those xeons won't come in retail box with active cooling?

i would not go with asus in the 1st place

so what would you recommend that would fit into standard (not server) pc case . I got silverstone TJ09 http://www.silverstonetek.com/produc...=tj09&area=usa

you should be ok, but you might not have much clearance between the case and the top of the cooler/fan.
Do you have the stock xeon fans/heatsinks?

[lukx]

no I don't. And I never had xeon based rig so I don't know if they come in retail boxes with heatsinks like standard intel cpus. Right now in this case I have one 120Ultra on Q6600. About the mobo... Is Supermicro X7DWE ATX better than asus?

Or maybe TYAN but as I can see only Tempest i5400XT (S5396) supports windows and quad and I think it doesn't look like standard ATX.

Noctua NH-U12P SE1366

For what its worth I only just got a Noctua heatsink to fit in my new standard cased PC, so measure 3 times cut once...................very quiet and good cooling though.
