3U HSF End of Life'd
Hasturtium:
Raptor's page has de-listed the 3U heatsink due to it being discontinued. Has the situation with the modified bracket to accommodate x86 heatsinks gotten to a point where they could offer those in their place? Feels like Raptor's in an increasingly awkward place.
ClassicHasClass:
Hopefully this is a sign S1 is coming out quickly, presumably with its own cooler.
Borley:
I'll admit I'm excited for whatever they're doing with S1, as it is now Q4 2024. But life has taught me not to work up expectations.

The "talk is cheap" thing they've got going is kind of nice, until it's not any more. Maintaining a joyful anticipation for Talos III/Blackbird II/S1 systems with no news whatsoever for more than 11 months (with the announced release date ending in less than two months) is probably not something people are going to do.
cy384:
If anyone is desparate for heatsinks, I understand power8 heatsinks are physically compatible. There are usually some on ebay in various heights. Some part numbers may be 00RR234, 00RR232, 00E8918, 01KL499. I think the 3u with fan was only used by Raptor, so there probably aren't many out there. 3D printing a fan shroud is probably not too hard.
Some news would be nice, but I'll admit I'm feeling a little pessimistic.
