CPU cooler compatibility with cofee lake

[vladnjr14]

Hello everyone!So,i've bought the new i5 8400 processor from intel and i'm super excited about it,but i have one minor problem.It is related to the compatibility between the cooler and the cpu.I have this cooler that i've used with my old cpu that was an i5 4460 and i was wondering if i can use it with my 8400 too.The cooler is a DeepCool GAMMAXX 300 and im really pleased with it cause it kept my cpu really cool and i dont really want to spend money on a new cooler given the fact that the whole setup was a bit expensive.

Thanks

Try the stock cooler that comes with 8400 first, it should suffice since you can not overclock.

Worst scenario is to get a mounting bracket if your cooler is not compatible. Usually very cheap.
