Does Corsairs hydro h60 fit 1151?

[zindan]

On the box and in the store it says that the h60 will not fit 1151 but then I read somewhere on toms hardware that it indeed does fit 1151? I am confused.

Thanks.

Yes, any cooler that fits Intel socket 1155 and 1150 will also fit in socket 1151. I know because I have one on my brother's Haswell build.

How can you be so sure? Will it definately fit?? Why don't they just say so in that case?

Yes, im 100% sure. It might be that your unit was manufactured before Skylake was launched, but Im sure it's completely fine.

I am still insecure, your statements doesen't put my mind at ease sorry to say. Is there any way you can proove this theory of yours?  Don't mean to make you feel dishonest but people say a lot of crap on the internet and they are often wrong.

I'd like to see/hear where did you see this claim that it wouldn't fit LGA1151. Its well known that all LGA115x sockets use same mounting.

Knowing this is an old Post, I am using the Corsair H60 AOI cpu cooler on my Gigabyte GA-Z170X-GAMING 3 LGA 1151 Intel Socket ATX Motherboard since March 2018. It works fine. Recently, Nov. 2022, I purchased a used H60 (120mm) from eBay because the pump motor died last week. My desktop is on roughly averaging 4 hours per day, 365 days per year. I say 4 hours per day because in reality most days I am on my computer 6 to 12 hours. That is a lot of hours the Corsair H60 has to work to keep my i7- 6700K Skylake cpu cool.

Original cost was $80. Unable to buy new as Cosair company is Out of Stock and those who have a new H60 want $100 or more. I got an used H60 from eBay for $42 includes Sales Tax and S&H fee.
