H115i Platinum Work with 9700k?

Hey guys, huge fan of the channel but never posted anything. Anyways, I'm doing a 9700k build with the Asus Maximus XI WiFi board and after receiving the wrong cooler for my CPU I stopped at my local Best Buy and picked up the H115i RGB Platinum thinking that's what I needed, however getting home I noticed the sockets it's compatible with are the LGA 1150, 1155 and 1156. Will this still work with the 1151 as the mounting bracket for the back of the MOBO adjusts?

 

Thanks for any insight Im planning on putting everything together and don't want to worry about incompatible parts for the cooler and not be able to return it later.

All the LGA 115x (x being whatever number) sockets use the same mounting system, so even a cooler that only mentions 1156 for example will work with 1151 (which is what the 9700K is).

But yeah, the Corsair 115i will work with the LGA 1151 socket.

it will work. I'd advise against a 9700K build with ryzen 3rd gen out.

you also spent a large part of your budget on a board that is overkill for 99% of over clocks.

Yeah I was initially planning on the 9900k however it had sold out where I was looking and jumped on the 9700k. Could switch but all the other parts are showing up Monday and getting anxious to put everything together. I looked at the amd side too but this build decided on going Intel.

A 3700x would be faster but your pick.

Yes. The 3700x is AM4 socket, which is in the supported list I posted above too.
