all sockets that start with 115 have the same mounting holes, thats why you usiually see the box saying "115x" instead of listing out all the sockets

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

all cpu colers that list "115*" compatibility fit all "115*" motherboards. for example my cooler is technically only socket 1156, but it fits perfectly on socket 1150.

 

that said, i have to add, cpu cooler, not "chipset cooler" ;)
