The time has come to deal with cooling of the c621 server I am working on. For the usual SQ and ambient noise reasons the server must to be entirely passively cooled. The cooling solution must deal with the heat dissipation requirements of a high power Xeon SP series CPU and it has to integrate into my server's quite dense packaging of power electronics in the area of the CPU. Of course there are no off the shelf passive cooling solutions for LGA 3647 socket CPUs 😦. Some time ago I posted details of the CPU cooling solution I had in mind. As the server's design and packaging developed there were opportunities to refine the cooling design. The final CPU block design for instance no longer routes heat pipes out over the motherboard's RAM so it will be simpler fit. The block and clamps are produced now, they are CNC'd from billet and are pictured below with just anodizing is outstanding. Defiantly looking forwards to getting these fitted, I will update on how installation and testing goes. OAudio.
