Recently purchased a used X99 motherboard that uses a square LGA 2011 socket. These don’t have the the passthrough holes that modern sockets have and instead use m4 threaded holes.
I’m not very familiar with sockets and coolers, is there a cooler under 2k that i can use with this motherboard?
What’s the exact motherboard model?
Deepcool stuff is usually really good with backwards compatibility. I have a AS500 on my X99. See what’s available from this:
Yes, for cheap you can get ant eSports c612 v1. Don’t buy v2 it’s not compatible. If you need lga2011 v3 brackets i have few. Btw any cooler with locking push pin will work like wraith prism
Thanks for the help everyone, after confirming with the seller I got to know that he has included a bracket that makes it compatible with the CPF-0007 cooler from Frontech (a clip-on type cooler).
So i went ahead and ordered that.
Will update if the cooler has that particular bracket included the box.
