Corsair H60 CPU cooler

[Dogeisilluminati]

My motherboard is 1150 socket and the closest supported socket on this CPU cooler is 1155. Would an 1155 socket cpu cooler fit a 1150 socket type? Would the Corsair H60 work for my system?

Note : I'm referring to the 2nd gen H60

Block Compatibility:
Intel: LGA 1150 / LGA 1155 / LGA 1156 / LGA 1366 / LGA 2011

AMD: Socket AM2 / AM3 / FM1

While compatible, it's not a cooler I'd use.

Loses by 4C to the Noctua DH-14 under load overclocked which in turn loses by 1-2C to the same price Phanteks PH-TC14PE

Is there a cooler you recommend?

See above... I was looking for the link when you posted

There's not a CLC made today that doesn't get whipped by:

a) An air cooler of less cost

or

b) The Swiftech H220-X / H240-X

The Swiftech units make all 240 / 280 / 360 CLCs irrelevant

The 1150 and 1155 socket are the same physical socket layout, so anything that fits one will fit the other. Good air cooling will match and beat AIOs with 120mm radiators. If you want to feel the benefits of water cooling in a thermal sense you have to go with 240mm or 280mm radiators on the CPU. Generally 120mm AIO perform on par with mid-performance air cooling.

They are good in ITX rigs that have room to mount one as they offer better cooling than most low profile air. Other than that not much benefit besides looks and getting the hot air out of the case.
