CPU socket 2011 question

[kmote]

Hello again fellow forumers.
I have a quick question: I'm buying heatsinks for a new xeon server build, can I assume that the 2011 v3 is physically the same as 2011 versions 1 and 2?

They should be the same, don't see why not.

Ahhh wait, what's the board? You have to make sure the board doesn't have the narrow ILM sockets.

This is the board I'm looking at: GIGABYTE - Server Motherboard - Socket 2011-3 - MD30-RS0 (rev. 1.0)

Hi Kmote

 

[PP Mguire]

You're good, that has standard square ILM.

Cheers guys, glad I checked.

Yes, it should work just the same
