SilverStone Technology XE360-SP5 High Performance 360mm All-in-One Liquid Cooler for Socket SP5, SST-XE360-SP5

I built a custom homelab server with actual server hardware (Supermicro MB + Epyc 7334 CPU), which typically results in an unbearable amount of noise. This AIO handles the 32 cores like a champ, with temps rarely getting above 50C. Coupled with Noctua fans, I can aggressively lower the fan curve so the server is quiet all the time.

This is the only AIO for SP5 (AMD Genoa) on the market (~May, 2024) and it’s a great one. Picked up two for two Epyc9684X’s which both can easily suck in 400W each. This pair of AIO’s had no issues dealing with cooling the cpus when each one was drawing 375W in my stress test (temps steady @ 62C) with fans set at 2000 rpm! The only aspect I believe they could make an improvement would be the fans in my opinion, they could be quieter (they make 52dB @2000rpm). I tested beQuiet silent wing pro 4, Nactua Nf12 industrial and Arctic P12Max as alternatives (they all exceed the static pressure and airflow rating of the AIO’s fans) and the P12Max came on top (36dB for the same steady 62C in my stress tests). The other two weren’t that far behind (40dB) which tells me that there are at least 3 fans that can do the same or a better job of cooling the rads at much lower noise level. Silverston, there’s no shame in copying if you copy the best, please do!
