Are both HP Z8 G4 Heat sinks identical ?

[StevieTee]

Hi, I'm about to buy a Z8 G4  barebones unit but it has no heat sinks,

I  would like to know if the heat sink for CPU 0 is the same as the one for CPU 01,

Should I buy 2 of the same or is the front and rear one different ?

Also if anyone can recommend a good supplier of them in the UK.

Thank you.

no, the second heatsink is not the same as the primary one

the second heatsink has the cooling fins offset from the heartsink's baseplate

note:  make sure you get the mounting bracket along with the heatsink

Thanks again for the information, it does seem particularly difficult to find a supplier in the UK at a reasonable price.
