Product Information
Full details
The Silverstone XE02-SP3 is a high-performance CPU cooler engineered for demanding server environments. It is ideal for users needing robust cooling for processors with up to 180W TDP in compact 2U rackmount systems. A key benefit is its efficient heat dissipation through four 6mm heatpipes and aluminum fins, coupled with a reliable 60mm PWM fan. A significant caveat for international users is its requirement for Japanese voltage (90-110 V) and plugs, potentially necessitating a voltage transformer for safe operation outside Japan.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the TDP rating of the Silverstone XE02-SP3?
The Silverstone XE02-SP3 has a TDP (Thermal Design Power) rating of 180W.
What CPU sockets does this cooler support?
It supports AMD SP3 and AMD TR4 sockets.
What is the maximum fan speed and noise level?
The fan can reach a maximum speed of 8400 RPM, producing a noise level of up to 52 dB at high speed.
Does this cooler come with thermal paste?
Product information does not specify if thermal paste is pre-applied or included. It is recommended to use high-quality thermal paste during installation.
Can I use this cooler in Europe without a transformer?
No. This cooler is designed for Japanese voltage (90-110 V) and uses Japanese plugs. Using it in regions with 110-240 V without a proper voltage transformer will damage the product and void any warranty. An adapter alone will not suffice.
What type of bearing does the fan use?
The fan features a durable dual ball bearing.
What are the dimensions of the cooler?
The cooler measures 79 mm in width, 64 mm in depth, and 117 mm in height.
Troubleshooting
Cooler fan is not spinning
Check that the 4-pin PWM fan cable is securely connected to the CPU_FAN header on the motherboard. Ensure the motherboard BIOS is not set to disable the CPU fan or set an excessively low speed threshold.
CPU temperature is too high
Verify the cooler is correctly mounted with even pressure. Ensure thermal paste was applied properly. Clean dust from the heatsink fins and fan. Confirm the fan speed is adequately set in the BIOS or by fan control software.
Cooler makes unusual noise
Inspect the fan for any obstructions. If noise persists, the fan bearing may be failing; consider replacing the fan unit.
System does not boot or powers off unexpectedly
This could indicate a thermal issue. Re-check the cooler mounting and thermal paste application. Ensure the fan is operating at a sufficient speed. Verify you are using the correct voltage converter if operating outside Japan.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent cooling performance for high-TDP CPUs
- Compact design fits 2U server environments
- Durable dual ball bearing fan
- Wide compatibility with AMD SP3/TR4 sockets
- PWM fan allows for dynamic speed control
Cons
- Requires Japanese voltage (90-110 V) and plugs, necessitating a voltage transformer outside Japan
- Higher noise levels at maximum RPM (52 dB)
- 60mm fan size may be less efficient than larger fans in some scenarios
- Exclusively designed for AMD SP3/TR4 sockets, not compatible with Intel or other AMD sockets
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
- Processor Sockets: AMD SP3, AMD TR4.
- Voltage: This cooler is designed for 12V operation. However, it ships with Japanese plugs (Type A or B) and is intended for use within Japanese voltage ranges (90-110 V). Crucially, using this cooler in regions with different voltage standards (e.g., 110-240 V) without a compatible voltage transformer can permanently damage the product. An adapter only changes the plug shape and does not convert voltage.
Setup:
- Ensure your system's motherboard has an SP3 or TR4 socket.
- Carefully align the cooler with the CPU socket mounting points.
- Secure the cooler according to the included mounting instructions, ensuring even pressure.
- Connect the fan's 4-pin PWM connector to the CPU_FAN header on your motherboard.
- If operating outside of Japan, verify the voltage compatibility and install a suitable voltage transformer before powering on your system.
Care:
- Periodically dust the heatsink fins and fan blades using compressed air to maintain optimal airflow.
- Check fan connections to ensure they are secure.
- Avoid excessive force when cleaning to prevent damage to the fins or heatpipes.
