Will Corsair H60 fit FM2+ Socket

[ijoshvirk]

I'm looking to buy a Corsair H60 for my CPU and I was wondering if the H60 will fit the FM2+ socket. I've read that that H60 fits the FM2 socket and apparently the mounting holes don't differ from the FM2+ mounting holes. So a yes or no answer would be nice as I'm looking to buy this soon!

Many thanks, Josh

Yea it'll fit but I'd ask why ?? Can't think of an fm2/+ chip that really necessitates an h60.
Unless its for aesthetics more than actual performance ??

There website says the same thing about the H90 and I used it on FM2+ most of last year.

Am2/am2+/am3/am3+/fm2/fm2+ - all exactly the same mountings - and have uses the same mount & mount holes since 2012 on every socket apart from the new ryzen am4.

Thanks for the quick reply! I was just doing it to try overclock my CPU to its max, and yeah It will look nice in my case as well. (Razer NZXT S340)

Yes the H60 will fit an FM2+ but dont bother.

NOW with that said it is really no better performance then a good air cooler.

Money will be much better spent saving to get you into a decent platform then dumping money into trying to get a couple more drops of subpar performance out of an fm2 chip.

It is frankly funny how so many people will get the FM2 because it is cheaper, and then dump money into marginal cpu upgrades, high frequency ram, and cooling to try to compensate to achieve near 4th gen i3 performance
