  • Robust construction to withstand repeated thermal cycles in data center environments
  • Optimized airflow design that works seamlessly with existing server fans for silent operation

Technical Specifications

  • Compatible models: IBM System x3850, x3850 X5 and related configurations
  • Material: High-grade aluminum alloy
  • Dimensions (L x W x H): 120 mm x 95 mm x 15 mm
  • Weight: approx 350 grams
  • Operating temperature range: -20 deg to 85 deg Celsius
  • Thermal resistance: less than 0.3 deg C per watt
  • Connector type: Standard IBM mounting bracket with screw holes

Applications

The X3850X5 heat sink is ideal for:

  • Enterprise data centers requiring continuous high-density compute performance
  • Virtualization hosts that run multiple virtual machines and generate sustained CPU load
  • High-performance computing (HPC) clusters where thermal stability is critical
  • Server refresh projects looking to improve cooling efficiency without redesigning the chassis
  • Any IBM x3850 platform upgrade where reliable heat management is a priority

By integrating the IBM Server Heat Sink X3850X5 into your server infrastructure, you benefit from reduced downtime, lower energy consumption due to efficient cooling, and enhanced overall system reliability.
