It wasn't necessary to unscrew the whole heatsync. It was a hard job to unscrew the cage, but it worked. The A6x25 PWM fitted perfectly - same mounting hole.

I am just not sure it was worth it, though. When the fan is at max speed, It's the same noise, or maybe a tiny bit quieter, than when I had the supermicro fan running at 2200 rpm using `ipmitool -H 192.168.1.80 raw 0x30 0x70 0x66 0x01 0x00 0x2` and full speed. Then, my temps would oscilate between 43 and 47 degrees Celsius.

Now, with the Noctua fan, when I select "optimal" and restore the full cycle, (0x64), I get 1200 rpm and an average of 56º C. And not so quiet as I thought.

Am a bit disappointed, I must say. Not the quietest machine, and now it runs a tiny bit warmer. Am almost considering going back to the Supermicro fan. But it is nice to actually not have to run a script to control the fan, as the optimal mode does it nicely.
Hello,

Which cooler is that? Do you have a part number for me (brand and model)?

Do you think it will fit on this motherboard: https://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdetail.asp?Model=D2143D8UM

This is my situation and I'm looking for an active CPU cooler for my board and CPU
