All LGA 115x sockets have the same mounts, while LGA 775, 1366 and 2011 all have different mounts.

LGA 1156 was launched in 2009, while Socket 939 was launched in 2004, so AMD has kept the same mounts 5 years longer than Intel ;)

Even though 939 and FM(2) are not compatible. Nice...

Well this is bad news for me. I just bought a NZXT Kraken X62 thinking it would be compatible with both Kaby Lake and Zen. :(

I am surprised that Noctua hasn't come up with some sort of universal option.

 

I will say this, their customer service is great. I lost the Intel LGA 1150 mounting hardware for my single tower Noctua cooler (am drunk, cannot be asked to look up or remember which specific model it was) and I emailed them asking where I could purchase replacement mounting hardware.

 

They emailed me back, asking simply "what's your address?" and sent me new mountain hardware, along with a free, small tube of thermal paste.

This kind of shit is why, when I get the money for my next rig, I will be going with all Noctua fans. And this rig will have quite a few fans. (monster build, planning on a Caselabs STH 10 magnum case. If that gives you any indication of the ridiculous number of fans we are talking about)

Thats funny given that my grandma has had both FM1 and FM2 PC's and I was able to use an FX 8350's heatsink in both builds...

I'm impressed AMD has kept the same damn mount for soooooooooooooooo long

I mean, 939, AM2/+/3/+, FM1/2/whateverotherFMtherewas ALL had the same damn mount... That's doing pretty damn good.

The waterblock I have on my AM3 board was originally made for a socket 939 Athlon64 FX-something.

SFF-ish:  Ryzen 5 1600X, Asrock AB350M Pro4, 16GB Corsair LPX 3200, Sapphire R9 Fury Nitro -75mV, 512gb Plextor Nvme m.2, 512gb Sandisk SATA m.2, Cryorig H7, stuffed into an Inwin 301 with rgb front panel mod.  LG27UD58.

 

Aging Workhorse:  Phenom II X6 1090T Black (4GHz #Yolo), 16GB Corsair XMS 1333, RX 470 Red Devil 4gb (Sold for $330 to Cryptominers), HD6850 1gb, Hilariously overkill Asus Crosshair V, 240gb Sandisk SSD Plus, 4TB's worth of mechanical drives, and a bunch of water/glycol.  Coming soon:  Bykski CPU block, whatever cheap Polaris 10 GPU I can get once miners start unloading them.

 

MintyFreshMedia:  Thinkserver TS130 with i3-3220, 4gb ecc ram, 120GB Toshiba/OCZ SSD booting Linux Mint XFCE, 2TB Hitachi Ultrastar.  In Progress:  3D printed drive mounts, 4 2TB ultrastars in RAID 5.

EK lists AM(x) and FM(x) as compatible: https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-supremacy

And yes they do use the same mounting...
