Hello,
I have just purchased a micro-ATX case (Jonsbo V4 black) which will be fitted with two Noctua NF-A8 PWM fans (there is room for a third one if required). To cool down an Intel Xeon E3-1220 v6 CPU I intend to use the 1U passive heatsink from Supermicro (SNK-P0046P). The NAS will be used as a file server and, occasionaly, streaming audio and 4K video to one player only.
Based on your experience, will the passive heatsink be enough, or shall I look for a "heatsink & fan style" CPU cooler?
