Dynaton A10 Enough for Server CPU?

[ryandlf]

I run a pretty simple web server, which includes a single AMD Opteron 8-Core 115W cpu. As most servers are, the fan I am currently running on the cpu is ridiculously loud.

I thought about watercooling, but I think its overkill, and I couldn't find a radiator to fit in the case anyways.

So, I found this fanless cpu heatsink called a Dynatron A10. Is this really enough for the cpu I am using? It claims to handle 140W and up. I guess i'm a little skeptical because it seems to good to be true.

if it were in a 1u case with screaming loud 60mm fans yea im sure it could, but its not designed for what your using im sure.


this one should be a little more quiet but will get pretty loud under load
