Cooler that fits LGA2011?

[T0MMEN]

I think the title explains the question.

 

I only find coolers that fit 2011-3. Is that the same socket type?

Coolers are same for both, although do check on the type of mount. There are "square" and "long" ones. I think square is more common on stuff we see outside servers.

It will come with brackets and yes HSF coolers like Evo 212 or Noctua DH-15 will suffice.

The Evo 212 and NH-D15 are in totally different leagues. One is in the top 3 best air coolers money can buy, one is decent, but meh for the price they ask for it most of the time.

Hey Zando Bob, what should he get then ?  Perhaps the Be Quiet Dark.  We want to give him less noise and great cooling.

I have no idea since he hasn't said what CPU or mobo he has, if he's overclocking, what case he's running in, etc.

Why are we all talking about air coolers when this is posted in Liquid and Exotic.

@T0MMEN did you want an air cooler? water cooler? either?

also what CPU is it? (I swear if someone says 7980XE...)

7980XE is 2066socket, but its an 3930k, currently running hyper212 evo, i dont know wich one i want, air or water. What do you recommend for this cpu?

I know. It's a running joke with GN viewers...

3930K... Well a nice air cooler or a 240mm+ AIO would do you well. Which one to choose, depends on price, aesthetics, the case you have, etc. The D14/15, dark rock pro coolers that have been suggested so far are very good. So are most AIOs at least 240mm. Just depends on your specific scenario beyond that.
