Well, Shit.

So I am FINALLY getting my mobo today for my new gaming build (I have everything else, so having the one thing I needed to build it was so annoying!)

 

BUT

 

I realized- the CPU I bought came with no cooler.

 

BUT

 

I have the cooler from my previous computer - off an HP Pavillion using an Asus LGA775 mobo.

 

SO

 

Will the older, screw-in cooler work on a new mobo that (presumably) uses the push-in clips? Or has the hole position changed since then, or do they not accept screw-in coolers at all? I'm pretty sure I've seen Linus use screws in a couple of builds, but who knows...

 

SO

 

Will it work? I know the power socket is the same type, but I am hoping to god that the cooler fits. I don't want to wait anymore!

 

HERE IT IS

(not the exact part, but the same concept).

 

EDIT - I just looked, and it seems the older LGA775 stock fans look the same as the new ones - they even have the plugs. Does this mean they work?

No, the hole spacing is different.

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

Can I ask, how the hell would you not have known that your system needed a cooler ahead of time?

Probably purchased an OEM chip without realizing.

Shot through the heart and you're to blame, 30fps and i'll pirate your game - Bon Jovi

Take me down to the console city where the games are blurry and the frames are thirty - Guns N' Roses

Arguing with religious people is like explaining to your mother that online games can't be paused...

No, I thought the CPU came with one.

Good news:

 

I finally found a local store (ended up being Best Buy) who has a full Corsair - Hydro Series H100i

 

Unfortunately it's $100, but since this is running in a tiny Cooler Master Elite 130, it can't hurt :)

 

Thanks for your help! God knows I would have tried it anyway, and my CPU would be dead...

it should have, unless you bought it used or OEM. Defo talk to them about it.

The Elite 130 doesn't fit a 240mm rad? IIRC

Yeah, I ended up returning the 130 and I'll have to get something else. I overestimated the case :(
