Low profile heatsink?

I am thinking of putting my Blackbird into a small computer case with less room to accommodate the stock 3U HSF that Raptor offers. Wondering if anyone know of any low-profile heatsink that is compatible with the motherboard socket (btw what's the socket name?).

My Raptor Blackbird

MPC7500

Socket name is LGA 2601. There is only the 2U HS from Raptor/ IBM.
q66 has made a custom watercooling solution for his Tyan POWER8 server. It's the same for the Blackbird, because the IBM heatsink for POWER8/ POWER9 are identical.

I have the 2U heatsink on my 4-core Blackbird. Depending on environment I would personally consider an 8-core thermally constrained in a low-profile case without the full 3U HSF, though mine is also crammed into an mATX HTPC case under an AV receiver with a bank of case fans on the side pumping air out.
