I have a T7500 with the T021F heatsink on the primary CPU. I'd like to upgrade this, but the Dell heatsinks are very expensive and hard to get here in the UK, and seemingly only used/second-hand. So I was wondering if Intel's 1366 heatsinks would fit this motherboard?
These are much cheaper and easier to get hold of, so I hope so! (I'm looking at the STS100C model.)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'd recommend getting the T021F . You're right, they don't come up often on ebay, but for the T5500 equivalent I have sourced a few very inexpensively. I've even had one shipped from the US for less than £20. If you want, you can find more commercial resellers to supply one. All the ones I received were in excellent condition and as this are passive devices with no moving parts, I think it's a safe option.
I've no experience with intel's 1366 heatsinks, and you'd need to be 100% sure they are compatible with the motherboard.

Commercial Equivalents are probably fine because the fan is not attached to the heatsink on the 3500 on the 5500 and 7500 its a different story. T021F is the Aluminum Version. W567F includes a fan and shroud and heatsink.
They screw in so if they use the standard Hole pattern it likely fits if its not too tall.
