I'm just curious did anybody see or apply non-standard cooling option for this socket? Particularly, i'm interesting in CPU cooling for SB 2500.
I know that one may use cooler for GeForce 8600 GPU on UltraSPARC II (the holes match, see: viewtopic.php?p=7344184#p7344184 ), but never heard of similar solution for 959 socket.

Why would you need it? Sun has good engineers, and unless you're doing something odd their thermal system should work just fine. I guess that fan noise could be one reason to muck around with it.

I just got a second CPU for my system without heatsink :( , and i don't want to spend much on stock option, they are expensive. So that's the reason.
