Supermicro SNK-P0017 1U

Supermicro SNK-P0017 1U is a passive CPU heatsink engineered for servers and high‑density rack systems based on LGA771 processors. Designed specifically for 1U chassis, it uses the airflow generated by system fans to dissipate heat efficiently, without introducing additional moving parts.

Key technical parameters

• Minimum chassis height: 1U – optimized for ultra‑slim rackmount servers
• Cooling type: passive – no integrated fan, relies on system airflow
• Supported CPU socket: LGA771
• Manufacturer warranty: 36 months

Technical advantages

• Passive design: eliminates fan-related mechanical failures, contributing to higher system reliability and reduced maintenance.
• 1U-optimized profile: form factor adapted to dense rack deployments, allowing efficient use of limited vertical space.
• Platform compatibility: support for LGA771 sockets enables integration with compatible server motherboards and legacy infrastructure.
• Thermal stability: designed to work in conjunction with chassis airflow to maintain stable CPU operating temperatures within properly ventilated systems.

Deployment considerations

• Intended for use in 1U server chassis with correctly engineered front-to-back airflow.
• Requires appropriate system fan configuration to ensure sufficient air volume across the heatsink fins.
• Recommended for environments prioritizing low acoustic noise, reduced mechanical complexity and predictable thermal behavior.

With its passive construction, 1U form factor compatibility and 36‑month manufacturer warranty, the Supermicro SNK-P0017 1U is a suitable thermal solution for LGA771-based rack servers where reliability and consistent cooling performance are critical.
