im getting my xeon tonight and im curious if the RTS2011AC intel heatsink will provide adequate cooling. now before i get bombarded with "get the closed loop cooler","no get the noctua/scythe/cooler master" type thread, i want to stay focused on will this cool the cpu adequately or not? i'd prefer real world accounts please and not speculation.

The 4930k have the IHS soldered (heat exchange almost perfect) I'm not sure about the E5-1607 I guess it's soldered, since it's the first series, even though I've never owned this model.

Wow I've never seen a 4930k stay at 50°C with all six cores fully loaded (x36 x36 x37 x37 x37 x39) on intel heatsink... and as far I remember it takes about ~1.250V or more at stock settings.
So there is something wrong here, or something you're not telling me, I've built a few of them back in time with AIO water cooling, no way.
But again, there are many things to be considered; ambient temperature, case & fan configuration, workloads, and so on.

Well as I said, if it is enough for your needs, and it keeps the temperatures within the limits, nobody...

Sorry, what do you mean? the intel heatsink can dissipate 130W? this must be a joke.
Anyway, the intel heatsink it's okay for general use, but not for heavy workloads with all cores fully loaded (no matter what Intel says; I would never leave my processor 24/7 with that crap... especially if the dust starts to accumulate on the heatsink).
Again, it all depends on what you do with your computer (maybe it will be appropriate for your use, as it is for many people).

its pretty simple. the intel heatsink allegedly can adequately cool any lga 2011 cpu with a 130w tdp. I work with these heatsinks on a regular basis, but i couldnt find the information on the cpu being compatible or not. I have since then found the information i needed. We use this cooler on 6 core i7 4930k's. the hottest i have ever seen one get was 50c on full load. while you may call it crap, and while i initially believed it to be crap, putting these coolers in production rackmounts made me eat my words. and yes we fully stress test all cpu cores with a very rigorous burn-in procedure. I have also seen the fan fail and the cooler by itself kept the cpu around 70c on full load. i was shocked how efficient these things are (albeit there are 3 other case fans in the rackmount). 0_0
