cpu upgrade and cooling

[dinuzzo723]

Hey guys I have a quick question!

As of right now I have a i7 920 in my Alienware and I want to upgrade to a 8700k.I know the motherboard and everything I need its just that I want to know if my cooler can work with the 8700k

I don't think it'll work, compatibility only list the 1366 socket and the 8700K is 1151.

Any of these 140mm AIO's should work as that's the size of the Alienware one.

7700k?

7700k?

That's 1151 as well, there's no newer CPU's that your current AIO will fit properly onto the socket.

okay can you recommend me a cooler then?

 

[dinuzzo723]

nothing more than about 125

If you can't fit a good sized air cooler into that case then I'd probably go with this.
