Lga 2066 cooler

[deepwebsurfer]

Hi all. I was just wondering if the stock lga 2066 intel cooler will fit onto the coffee lake lga 1151 motherboard properly. Im about to sell my computer tomorrow so that I can finish my build for my intel 8086k that I won in the sweepstakes(which hasn't arrived yet :/)so im going to purchase an i3-8100. My budget isnt big enough to purchase what I was going to originally purchase with the money ill recieve tomorrow(ddr4 ram, psu and liquid cooler for the 8086k)so I was hoping to just ourchase the i3-8100,ram and cpu. Hopefully lga 2066 coolers fit lga 1151 coffee lake motherboard. let me know asap please. thanks!

Umm.... why would you need to use your LGA2066 CPU cooler on LGA1151 MoBo when you'll get LGA1151 CPU cooler with i3-8100 when you buy it?

Just in case I don't purchase the 8100 after all.

I don't follow you quite well. Do you already have a build with LGA2066 socket? Or do you think that i7-8086K uses LGA2066 socket? If it's the latter then do note that i7-8086K uses LGA1151 socket.

As far as your original question goes, you can't use LGA2066 cooler on LGA1151 MoBo and vice-versa since mounting holes around the socket are at different place. Unless you have proper mounting brackets and clips. Also, because Intel's stock CPU cooler has push-pins and it doesn't use mounting bracket and clips, you can't put it on different socket MoBo.
