A NewEgg reviewer claims that the CPU cooler cannot be used on a dual-CPU socket Asus Z9PA-D8 Server motherboard, due to there not being enough space between them. I find no evidence of this anywhere. Nowhere online does the Asus Z9PA-D8 have any mention of problems with any CPU coolers, nor can I find any mention that these CPU coolers can be used anywhere. This is the basic "OEM" style CPU cooler for the Socket 2011 CPUs, and is the natural "go to" solution for basic cooling for a Server that is not overclocked, etc... I would think that if there were problems with this CPU cooler, there would be some other mention of them online, besides one single NewEgg reviewer, so unless I get other information (soon), I'm buying 2 of these. Any reason not to?

Accepted Answer

Thus far I have two credible-sounding people saying that the "Intel Style" CPU coolers will work with any dual-CPU motherboard, due to standardized industry specifications, etc...  It's the non-Intel CPU coolers that are outside those specs that you have to worry about.
