Supermicro Cooling Fan/Heatsink — 3800 RPM Copper CPU Cooling

Engineered for reliability and top-tier thermal performance, the Supermicro Cooling Fan/Heatsink delivers exceptional cooling efficiency for standard Intel processors. This copper heatsink paired with a high-speed fan spins up to 3800 RPM to aggressively dissipate heat, helping maintain peak performance during demanding workloads. Designed for versatility, it is fully compatible with multiple Intel socket configurations, making it an ideal upgrade or replacement part for workstation, gaming, and server builds that require dependable thermal management without compromising space or airflow.

• High-capacity cooling up to 3800 RPM for rapid heat removal. The powerful airflow helps prevent CPU throttling during gaming sessions, video rendering, and multitasking workloads, ensuring smooth, consistent performance when it matters most.
• Copper heatsink for superior thermal conductivity. Copper’s exceptional ability to transfer heat away from the processor means lower core temperatures and more headroom for sustained performance under load.
• Broad socket compatibility for Intel processors. Compatible with Intel LGA-1155 (H2), LGA-1150 (H3), and LGA-2011 (R) sockets, this cooler fits a wide range of mainstream to high-end CPUs, simplifying upgrades and maintenance.
• Retail packaging for easy upgrade or replacement. Delivered in standard retail packaging, it’s ready for immediate installation in DIY builds, data centers, or repair inventories without additional procurement steps.
• Designed for standard processors with reliable airflow and quiet operation. The combination of a robust fan and copper heatsink provides consistent cooling performance that supports long-term system stability in everyday and demanding environments.

how to install Supermicro Cooling Fan/Heatsink

Preparing your system for installation starts with safety and cleanliness. Power down fully, unplug the power cord, and ground yourself to avoid static discharge that could harm sensitive components. Remove the existing cooler if present and clean the CPU heat spreader surface to ensure optimal contact. The following steps outline a straightforward installation process that covers most standard builds:

1) Confirm compatibility and gather components. Verify that your motherboard supports LGA-1155, LGA-1150, or LGA-2011 sockets and that you have the appropriate mounting hardware and thermal paste if needed. The copper heatsink should align with your CPU socket layout for stable mounting and efficient airflow.

2) Apply a thin layer of thermal paste (if required) to the CPU. A small, pea-sized amount is typically sufficient for even heat transfer. Some CPU coolers include pre-applied thermal compound; in that case, skip this step.

3) Attach the mounting bracket and align the cooler. Secure the heatsink onto the CPU socket using the provided mounting hardware. Ensure even pressure across the entire base to maximize contact and heat transfer. Avoid overtightening to prevent stress on the motherboard.

4) Connect the fan power connector to the appropriate header. Most systems use a standard 4-pin PWM fan header. Verify BIOS settings to enable PWM control if you plan to adjust fan speeds for acoustics and cooling.

5) Verify clearance and power on for a test run. Check that there is no contact with memory modules or other components and confirm that the fan spins up smoothly. Monitor idle and under-load temperatures to confirm effective cooling. If temperatures rise unexpectedly, reseat the cooler or reapply thermal paste as needed.
