Supermicro SNK-P0012 1U

Supermicro SNK-P0012 1U is a passive CPU heatsink engineered for high-density server environments. Designed specifically for 1U chassis and LGA940 processor sockets, it provides efficient, fanless heat dissipation in rack-mounted systems.

The passive design eliminates moving parts in the cooling unit, reducing potential points of failure and contributing to higher system reliability. This makes the SNK-P0012 1U suitable for continuous, 24/7 data center and server room operation, where stable thermal performance is critical.

• Form factor: Compatible with 1U server enclosures, optimized for low-profile installations.
• Cooling type: Passive cooling, relying on optimized heatsink geometry and chassis airflow.
• Supported CPU sockets: LGA940.
• Manufacturer warranty: 36 months.

By using a dedicated passive heatsink matched to the server platform, system integrators can maintain predictable thermal behavior and simplify maintenance. The absence of an integrated fan helps lower acoustic noise at the system level (depending on chassis fan configuration) and eliminates the need to service fan components in the heatsink itself.

The Supermicro SNK-P0012 1U is intended for use in compatible Supermicro or other LGA940-based platforms where a 1U passive solution is required. For optimal operation, it should be combined with properly configured chassis airflow and system fans specified by the server manufacturer.
