Will my LGA1366 heatsink fit 1151 socket?

[William Nadeau]

I have a first gen i7 with a Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme Rev. C CPU Cooler heatsink. I bought the heatsink 5 years ago, so any additional hardware I would have received with it is lost forever. I just bought a i5-6600k, and realized it doesn't come with a heatsink. Does anyone know if this heatsink will also work with the 6600k?

I highly doubt it.

If your cooler has a mounting bracket for LGA 1156, then it will work if you use that bracket. If the cooler only has LGA 775 and LGA 1366 support, then you're pretty much out of luck.

According to this manual there are no separate installation instructions for 1150/1150/1155, I am unsure if

If your cooler will fit any of those sockets the answer will be yes.

No, your cooler will not work with the new socket. There may be some additional hardware that would have made it work, but since you mentioned only having what's installed now, there is no way it can fit.

Pick up a 212 Evo for cheap!

some motherboards have a 'combo cooler option' that allows the use of 775, 1155 and 1156 socketed heatsinks, for example my gigabyte z68 mobo.
i'm guessing new motherboards probably won't have that feature, but it won't hurt to check the manual online if you are shopping for a new mobo.
