So searched everywhere and theres no place in the US that sells these anymore. If anyone can find one or has one please notify me.
 
I would guess that retailers "need" for these. The Hyper 212 is a great cooler for $650 - $850 budget system builds but I just don't see a user preparing a high end build with an LGA 2011 CPU and then going low budget with a $25 cooler. Would be like buying a $20 pair of speakers on a $700 car stereo

The 6950x goes from 62 to 315 watts when overclocked so used the 250 watt graph. Id want at least the Noc NH-D15, Phanteks PH-TC14PE or Cryorig R1 for LGA 2011

The 6800k uses 175 watts so I guess 200 and 150 watts is worth looking at too.

I have X79 not X99. Also, not planning on overclocking too much.
 


The original mounting bracket doesn't support LGA 2011/2011-v3 so they made a second bracket for it. Problem is I can't find it anywhere. (Except Australia and S. Africa. Australia doesn't ship to US and S. Africa site seems unreliable.)
 


Doesn't change anything, X79 and X99 CPUs are capable of producing large amounts of heat. Of course what CPU is being used would narrow that down a bit. As TJ indicated, the plate on most coolers is the same for Intel chips ... the securing mechanism on the back of MoBo usually changes depending on CPU / Socket. Cooler manufacturers usually include these in the package but to save money ... support tends to be dropped for older platforms as well as well as for components that are unlikely to be used together. For example, EK isn't likely to make a water block for a $79 GFX card.

I see that, on at least some models currently being sold, the "package" support LGA-2011. For example:

212 Evo does - LGA 2011 / 1366 / 1151 / 1150 / 1155 / 1156 / 775

Hyper 212 Plus does not - Intel: LGA 1366 / 1155 / 1156 / 1150 / 775
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103065

When not available, they are oft sold as a separate product, but if they don't sell, the vendors may drop stock or the manufacturer may drop production
 


Using an E5-1650 right now, which has a TDP of 130W. I put the EVO on without the bracket and idle was around 40C and max was around 60C. I think I should be fine.
 
I'm not doing a good job of explaining this I guess....the TDP of the CPU @ stock speeds is irrelevant.

The TDP of the 5960x is also 140W and as we saw, idle to OC load represents a 300+ watt increase.

What's the difference in power consumption from the 5960x ? Here's what base systems w/ the stock CPUs are drawing before overclocking (idle / load)

5820k = 68 / 185 watts
5830k = 68 / 187 watts
5960x = 69 / 189 watts

Lets do the math ...

Going from idle to load adds ~ 120 watts. Going from load to OC load adds ~ 190. So even if we assume at idle the CPU is consuming 0 watts, overclocking it and putting it under load adds 310 watts

From THG forums

"The Xeon E5 1650 V3 is essentially the exact same thing as a , i7 5930K"

Simply put, any potential advantage you might gain from overclocking a X79 system, will be negated by the inability of the lower budget cooler to handle much of an OC.

Assuming your time is worth some monetary value, if you are going to invest an hour of your time installing a cooler, at what point does continuing to search for a part that the manufacturers has decided not to offer anymore presumable because of a lack of demand. Choices you might consider ... each one bringing you a higher level of performance:

$25 Buy an Evo version that comes with the bracket.
$40-50 Buy a Cryorig or Scythe cooler
$65 Buy a Phanteks

 

I said I woldn't OC.
 


Yeah I changed my mind. Sorry for not telling earlier
