Cooler Master Hyper 212+

[Kidbest100]

Hey guys, I'm thinking of doing a build coming up sometime this month, and I'm planning on using my current CPU cooler, the cooler Master Hyper 212 plus.

 

But, I just realized that since I'm going with Haswell, it's a different CPU socket, LGA 1150.

On the box, my cooler does not say it supports that socket.  It says it supports LGA 775 1156 and 1366. Am I going to be able to use this cooler?

 

Also, if there is a way to sort of jerry rig the cooler on there using a mounting trick or something of the sort, can you guys please explain how to go about doing that, or point me to someones guide? (And please use correct links and sources)

The mounting points for LGA 1156 and LGA 1150 are the same so you can fit your LGA 1156 cooler onto a LGA 1150 socket. Used this video for installing my cpu cooler: 

The mounting instructions for the Evo and Plus should be the same.

It will fit, it has the same mounting system so there should be no worries. If it 1156,1155 or 1150 they are the same.
