Air Cooler backwards compatibilaty

[Mexxim]

Hello guys,

 

I am planning to upgrade my trutsy i5 2500k to something a little more up to date. The Core i5 10600KF seems to be right up my sight, since ryzen 5000 Series are too expensive atm.

For my Sandy-Bridge CPU i got a Scythe Mugen 2 Rev. B Cooler installed.

 

Does anyone know, whether this would be still compatibal with the 1200 Socket?

I Really don´t want to crush my new CPU...

 

Thanks in advance :)

LGA 1155 (what you have now) has the same cooler compatability as LGA 1200 (what the 10600KF is).

You just need some new thermal paste to re-use the cooler.

It is compatible if you have all the right parts for mounting.

After market coolers are pretty good for compatibility.  Even when it doesn't fit you can often get a free adapter sent from the cooler manufacturer.
