Hi all,
I am about to upgrade to i7 3930k and was wondering if I can use my current after-market cooler Tuniq Tower 120 Extreme Revision C. I know there is a backplate for it which makes it compatible with socket 1156 but the manufacturer's web-site does not mention anything about socket 2011.
My question is- are socket 1156 and socket 2011 the same in terms of after-market coolers compatibility.

Thanks a lot.

Never mind. I just bought an X79 Asus motherboard and my previous heat-sink Tuniq Tower 120 fit perfectly.
