Meh, are you sure? Those coolers are a lot of mass(read stress on a motherboard) to be transporting via backpack. Particularly the C14S as its heatpipes unfortunately allow it to unbalance any loading to only two of the four mounting holes. Unduly stressing one side of the cpu socket/motherboard.

^^ Excellent chart. I'd look for the shortest (edit) that has heatpipes protruding from both sides of the cpu plate (stop edit) that meets the TDP of whatever Xeon you decide between here and build time.
The shorter the better. I mean, c'mon. That backpack will one day too soon be heavy and a particular PITA that day, only to be nonchalantly flung by its straps over and out of the way. At which point you will gasp aloud and your heart will sink, displacing your intestines.![Tongue]( "Tongue")
