Had a couple general questions..

Hey all I hope you had a great weekend, I have a couple questions that I was wondering the answer to.

 

First, I was looking at a motherboard that has a ssd slot built in, Do I need to have a card in this slot for it to work? or would I be fine with just having a hard drive and not having the slot occupied?

 

secondly, I already have a corsair H55 liquid cooling unit that says it supports LGA 1150 (does not say anywhere that it supports lga 1511, bought 4ish years ago..) and the cpu I was looking at is a LGA 1151 Would my cooler work on it or would I be better off buying a new cooler?

 

 

Thanks for taking the time to look at my questions and eager to hear anyone's experience or answers!

You can leave that m.2 slot unoccupied. It'll work just fine.

 

That cooler should fit lga1151.
