Will a LG1150 cpu cooler fit a FCLGA1150 Socket??

[Mads Haugaard]

My friend owns the intel Core i5-4670K CPU which on paper seems to have the FCLGA1150 socket. (Which i've never heard of). And i can't seem to find any cooler that says "FCLGA1150" supported but does have LGA1150 supported.
(Sorry if that was confusing)
My friend has cooling issues with the CPU. The cpu cooler is a water cooled supported by 1 120mm fan running at 1600~rpm. Which seems to output poor performance. Sometimes, when playing CPU intensive games like Arma 3, the cpu is sometimes up to a 70-80*c. Which is not good of cause.

But, he's about to upgrade the cooler to a air-cooler. And i was thinking the Noctua NH-U9B SE2 CPU Cooler (2fans)
But I have no idea if it will fit that socket.
Also, if you guys would mind explaining the "FC" in front of the LGA, i'll be very happy. Thanks again.

FCLGA = LGA basically they are THE SAME , cooler should fit.

FCLGA = LGA basically they are THE SAME , cooler should fit.

Thank you. But what do you think about the cooler? Do you have better suggestions? (No watercooled)

It's a good Noctua cooler , no need to change.

You do not specify the clock speed.
If it is heavily overclocked back off until max game temps are low 70's C and dont worry about it.
If it is stock clocked its a bit 'poor',tho not an urgent problem.
You might want to look at voltages, you may be running a bit 'rich' if its an auto overclock.

Well, the CPU is running 3.4ghz~. All fans is on Max throttle. And yet still the cooler lacks to performe.

I prefer buying from online sites in Denmark since import is extremely expensive. And prices as far as i can see very alot here in Denmark. I think the Noctua will be the one. But thanks!

At 3.4 gig max temps should be ~ 60 Celsius.
I would re paste cooler once, just in case.

All tho, it's been like that since he bought the PC, and 60-70 is just normal temps. He's got the cpu to a 90 sometimes, and that's when he has multiple things running.
(90*c few times not normal tho)

Needs 'physical investigation'. That sort of temp would be intel stock cooler territory,I suspect a problem with the initial instal.

Well, he's gonna order the new cooler and i'm going to install it for him, i've build my own pc with a similar cooler aswell. The PC was build by some website called Sharkgaming. They're good at building and have won prizes for some of their overkill builds.
But i do not think it's installed uncorrectly. But simply the cooler is bad.
