Socket problem?

Go to solution Solved by Oshino Shinobu,

The 1150/1155/1156 mounting will work. All of the LGA 115X sockets use the same mounting system, including LGA 1151. It's just that the cooler was around before LGA 1151, so it's not in the manual. 

Hi.

 

Sitting here working on my new pc and i have gotten in to a littel issue, my socket is an LGA1151 so its a Skylake. and the cooler i have is a darkrock pro 3 and i cant find the 1151 socket in the manual, is it not campatible with the LGA1151 socket?

Have i fucked up?

Everyone has.
That's the worst thing about the cooler. They did such a great job on the design and cooling, but the mounting is just terrible.
be Quiet knows that, but now it's too late. They'll probably change that with the Dark Rock 4 and Pro 4.
