I’m working on my first build I’ve received all the components now, but I can’t help feel I may have made a mistake with the chassis. I got a Thermaltake Level 10 GT LCS, it says that it supports LGA 2011 since it has the built in cooler, but I’ve got the ASUS ROG STRIX Z390-E which is LGA 1151. Can I remove and replace the stock cooler (I’ve got a Corsair H100i v2) or am I incredibly stupid and jumped the gun in my excitement? PCpartpicker shows no compatibility errors, and there’s even a build with an LGA 1151, but I’m now worried since its arrived.
