Actually I tried this for some of our SC1435's, the cpu doesn't matter but it's the 1U heatsink that needs to be Dell to mount properly. There is almost 0 market for the heatsinks. Did you find a Dell heatsink?
If it is, that's probably all you need. I've seen it replaced before and it's part-less and tool-less.
