LGA 115X mounting holes are a lot closer together than 2011. So unfortunately no. CPU coolers that allow you to mount on both 2011 and 115X usually include two different sized metal brackets.

To add to this, the mount method is a bit different between them too. 115x coolers usually mount to the mobo with or without backplate. 2011 coolers usually mount to the CPU retention frame itself. Believe there are also two layouts for 2011 too, known as square and narrow. I've only ever seen square myself, but sure I had coolers that did not support narrow configuration.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad
