Good day! Can I put in a 2U case, a heatsink for a 1U case on a processor? Those. physically, it will fit, of course, but what if there is some specificity in the movement of air flows, in which a 1U radiator in a 2U case will not be blown enough? Supermicro chassis, Xeon E5-2640V2 processors.

Answer 1

And if after installing such a cooler there will be no problems with overheating, then it will do
