Cooler suggestions

Caldren · June 20, 2017

I am getting a TestBench situation set up, and have quite a few different motherboards/CPU sockets I will need to be testing. Looking for coolers with a wide range of flexibility of socket compatibility. I liked the look of the cooler master V8, as it had the 775, 1156, 1151, 2011-3, (ones I know I will need) and several AMD socket types ( have a number of older AMD motherboards in our set up that eventually may need to be tested. I do not know what they are).

My only concern is that it may be a little big if I need to swap out motherboard/CPUs frequently (difficult to install) and possibly, depending on the motherboard, difficulty at accessing the RAM slots etc.

Does anyone have any other suggestions or thoughts

V8 has very poor price/size/performance ratio... 212 Evo has support for all Intels consumer boards since LGA775, I'm pretty sure you can get 2011 brackets. Plus it supports all AM/FM sockets and you can get AM4 bracket.
