LGA1155 with 1366\2011 cooler

[gpse]

Hey gang, quick question, I have a Core i7 2600k CPU, with an Intel Z77 board. Does anyone know if the push pin spacing for the heatsink\cooler is the same for socket 1366 or 2011?

Socket 1366/2011 is compatable but not with 1155/1156

damn, so only 1155 and 1156 share the same push pin locations?

that and the upcomming socket 1150 from what i've heard.

I'm kinda confused on what you want to do.

If you have an aftermarket cooler that is compatable with 1155/1156(same) it may be possible to just order the mounting kit for 1366/2011(same) or visa versa. If your talking the stock intel coolers then it's not possible.

Not that it's relevant to your question, more to just toss this out there, but at least some Z77 motherboards have cooler mounting holes for LGA775 coolers in addition to the 1155/56 holes.

not "some", just Asrock, and they call it by some special name.

as to the OP's question, some coolers come with the needed mounting brackets for the different sockets. If a high end cooler, this is likly. A low end cooler, not likly.

I wanna use the stock cooler, I'm not overclocking this system. Quick question, is the stock 2600k cooler the same as the stock 2500k cooler? or other SandyBridge coolers?
I know they mount the same, since they're the same socket, but physically are they identical? (Low Profile, Copper Base)?

Yes the stock cooler for the Intel® Core™ i5-2500K and the Intel Core i7-2600K is the same.

I just got a stock cooler from a friend, it's from his Core i5 2500, they look almost the same, except my bottom was round, his is square. (although both have round copper)

my original was round like this: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/842/sdc14391l.jpg/

so far the temps seem the same, 85*c under load (prime95) 45*c idle.

Yes Intel made a change in the shape, I forget which is the older version. Performance is supposed to be identical.
