Supermicro SNK-P0008A 3U

Supermicro SNK-P0008A 3U is a passive CPU heatsink engineered for server environments requiring reliable, low-maintenance cooling. Designed specifically for LGA 604 processor sockets and a minimum chassis height of 3U, it supports stable thermal performance in compatible rack systems.

The passive design eliminates moving parts, reducing mechanical failure points and noise generation. This makes it suitable for deployments where long-term reliability and simplified maintenance are priorities, such as data centers and enterprise server rooms using supported Supermicro platforms.

• Cooling type: Passive (fanless heatsink)
• Supported CPU socket: LGA 604
• Minimum chassis height: 3U
• Manufacturer warranty: 36 months

By using a passive heatsink tailored to the specified socket and form factor, system integrators can achieve predictable thermal behavior within the supported platform design envelope. The SNK-P0008A 3U is intended to operate as part of a properly engineered airflow path in a compatible 3U chassis, leveraging system fans to move air through the fin structure.

Key benefits:

• Fanless construction for reduced acoustic output and lower risk of mechanical failure.
• Form factor adapted to 3U server chassis for easier integration in rack infrastructures.
• Socket-specific design for LGA 604 platforms, helping ensure proper mechanical fit.
• 36-month manufacturer warranty for extended product lifecycle coverage.

For optimal performance, the heatsink should be used only in compatible systems that provide adequate chassis airflow and comply with the thermal guidelines specified by the platform and processor manufacturers.
