Can an LGA 775 fan work with an LGA 771 motherboard?

Go to solution Solved by Samsonsuperco,

First off, I don't see how you can put a GPU in that board with the slots it has... As for the coolers, I have a 771 board and I used heat sinks from a Dell Precision T5400 (which is my main desktop now). On socket 771, the heat sink screws go through the motherboard and into the chassis. I used serrated 6-32 nuts and the screws that are in the heat sink to mount mine. Just make sure you leave the metal bracket in place. You can usually pick up the heat sinks for around $25 a piece, and the nuts for around $5 on Ebay. Keep in mind that you need fans too. I just used zip ties to hold the fans in place. Hope this helps! (I will add pics soon)

So, my friend wanted me to build his new pc.

I got him 16 Gb of ddr2 ram, 2 Intel Xeons 5350, a SuperMicro X7DVL-E and an nvidia geforce gtx 750 ti.

I looked for some coolers for his cpu, and they were too expensive BUT i found Some lga 775 Coolers for WAY cheaper.

Will those coolers work with my mother board or not?

Please help.

The mounting holes are in different positions, so no.

But WHY? Why do they change holes every time? It has literally nothing to do with socket functionality.. But anyway, they won't work but you can ghetto ziptie them down.

I need S340. But more Define S'ish

For lga 771 it was so they could use less board space on servers and put the cpu closer to each other.
