Does a LGA 1155 cooler fit into a LGA 1150 socket?

Solution
LGA1150 and LGA1155 sockets have the same holes for mounting CPU coolers, meaning a cooler that supports 1155 socket will support 1150 boards, and vice versa.

yes. i'm using the stock cooler from my i5-3570k on my i3-4130 setup (since the i5's cooler is better than the i3's and the i3 isn't being overclocked)

i know this is an old thread but would this also apply to the LGA 1151, i noticed on frozencpu they have a category marked "LGA 115x" whereas all the other sockets have their own individual category. so would any LGA 115- work on my LGA 1151 board?

Yes, LGA115x are all the same for coolers.
