intel OEM heatsink question

[RU482]

I have an OEM heatsink from a build a co-worker did a few years back when the first i7 CPUs came out. (1366 pin socket IIRC)

I recently scored a deal on a cheap motherboard and Celeron G530 LGA1155 CPU. The CPU is OEM (no HSF) so I'm wondering if the heatsink from the i7 will work.

Anyone know?

You're out of luck. I'm pretty sure that it is not compatible. Get a cheap CM Hyper TX3 if you don't want to spend a lot of money.

Must have been a socket 1156 heatsink.
