[SOLVED] Cooling Compatibility for i7 960/3.20Ghz.

[chancemitchell]

Motherboard: MSI X58 Pro-E, LGA 1366
CPU: i7 960/3.20Ghz.

I'm currently working on moving my build from my smaller case into a larger more aesthetic case. I want room for further upgrades and what not. I purchased this case:
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod...&cm_mmc=TEMC-RMA-Approvel-_-Content-_-text-_-
with the intent of keeping everything the same but in this case. I'm not even sure the exact kind of cooling I have now, other than it isn't Liquid and it is very cheap. (Asetek) This new case has a lot of fans and space but reviews have raised concern about the amount of air being pulled. I figured since I have more room now, and this concern, I would upgrade to a larger Liquid CPU cooler:

Is the CPU cooler I selected compatible with my CPU or should I be looking at more upgrades?

According to Specs, it looks like LGA 1366 is supported I just wanted to run this operation by some more intelligent folk.

Lga 1366 is not supported by that cooler as far as I can tell

100% as tshinhar said:

• COMPATIBILITY
• Intel 115x
• Intel 2011/2066
• AMD AM3/AM2
• AMD AM4
• AMD TR4

Why bother anyway? I stuck a Noctua NH-D14 on to my i7 990X.... And including the case fan setup, i could overclock the nuts out of this chip, and still be good... But, alas, I haven't been able to get the O/C right yet, so runing @ stock currently.

So this list on Newegg is bunk then?

If anyone cares, it is indeed compatible.
