Does the CORSAIR Hydro Series H100i really not work with an 1150?

[Amberr]

It does not list 1150 LGA socket as one it is compatible with? Isn't 1150 the most commonly used? I find this odd. Or am I missing something?

Also, is it a good CPU cooler?

From the product home page
Socket Support AMD: AM2, AM3, FM1, FM2, Intel LGA: 1150, 1155, 1156, 1366, 2011, 2011-3

I have one hooked up to my 1150 now.

Is it a good cooler? Depends on who you ask. I chose it for aesthetics reasons only. It's a decent cooler, but air can do just as good a job for quieter and usually cheaper. For me, if I have a windowed case, I go for the H100i simply for looks. If I have a closed case no window, I go with a Noctua NH-D15.

Like jim said it depends on the user. I don't think anyone will call it a bad cooler but what it's called will depend on what price the item is selling for. I bought mine refurbished for $64 w/ 1 Year warranty. It didn't arrive DoA and cools my CPU nicely. In my situation it's a good cooler. If it were at retail price? I wouldn't have even bought it unless it was necessary.

Also my H100i box has the LGA 1150 as a supported socket.
