Can I install this heatsink? my previous heatsink (stock intel) installed into the motherboard without screws. My motherboard is an ASUS P8 Z77-V PRO.

I believe it comes with the mounting brackets for LGA sockets however I used mine on an amd fm2 socket,

THE MANUFACTURE says it supports your 1155 socket up to only 70 watts but its design with only 2 pipes i would say less than 70 watts the 1155 socket is very versatile, but i beleive the TX3 is a better choice it is the same size accept it has 3 pipes one for the center .now it does cost a little more i think $5 but a much better design to answer your question is yes but to answer in length no TX3 much better . i hope this helps

Your probaly can, your just going to have to remove the origonal mounts, the heatsink comes with new ones, but if you motherborad came with more than one mount i would try using its first. Im using a classafied sr-2 and its mounts are much nicers than collermasters.

Thankfully the thermal compound is not pre applied on the heatsink. It comes in a little plastic sleeve, seperatly. I would definitely apply the artic silver 5 compound instead of what comes with the heatsink. By the way this closed loop cooler is AWESOME. Lemme know if you have any other questions about it.

It comes with a heatsink/fan with thermal paste already on it. Just place the fan assembly on top of the microprocessor and hook the 4 hold owns to your motherboard.

The heatsink would fit the CPU, so since this is an LGA-775, you need an LGA-775 CPU heatsink, as for the chassis, I have no idea.

It comes with a heatsink and fan with thermal paste already applied.Depending on how much you want to push your processor, I would recommend finding a better heatsink since the one included is merely 'adequate' for normal uses. Mine has pretty high temps with even small overclocking with the stock cooler.

I don't think so the fins for this RAM are too tall for the heatsink. Edit: Yeah I agree with the rest of them saying that it really does depend on the board, but your average ATX motherboard puts the RAM slots too close to the CPU slot making it difficult for the heatsink to fit over the RAM.

If you are using the stock heatsink then thermal compound is already applied in the packaging. If you are using an aftermarket heatsink, then you definitely want to make sure to use some if it doesn't already have it on it.

Mine came with the CPU itself and a CPU heat sink/fan assembly that snaps into the motherboard. However I couldn't use the heat sink/fan assembly because I couldn't remove my existing back plate from the motherboard, it was glued on! I had to clean the old thermal paste off my old heat sink, pick up some new thermal paste, apply it to the new CPU I installed and re-use the old heat sink/fan assembly. Not ideal as it's a six year old fan but my temps are fine... for now. I couldn't find a reasonably priced heat sink/fan assembly that would screw into my existing back plate and still make this a cost effective solution! You might want to check yours first.

No, but I recommend you that you have to dismount the CPU Cooler, clean very well the surface of the CPU and CPU Cooler. Buy a good thermal compound like Arctic Silver and install all again. Check very well the brackets supports between motherboard and CPU Cooler.

Yes... but I'd recommend replacing it. The thermal paste is on the stock cooler. It comes in three thick bands with gaps in between them. I'd recommend at least spreading these out to cover the entire CPU before installing. I removed the stock paste completely and went with my own application to ensure even coverage.

Shouldn't have a problem this thing has the most clearance I have ever seen. You might want to put the memory in first though. Also if you have a big heatsink on your motherboard like the MSI mpower max z87, getting the heatsink in can be a little tricky, but it is possible.

no you have to supply your own thermal paste. There's instructions on youtube if you are wondering how to do it. it essence when you buy the paste you will have a plastic template put a generous blob of paste on top of the CPU and spread it around liberally with the template in place so that you are sure all of it is covered. Attach the fan to the top of this and screw it into position. Motherboards and fans do vary a lot so don't take my passing advice google exactly how to do it for your motherboard and fan/cooler as there's loads of video tutorials on youtube. I won't be held responsible for cooked CPU's. no you have to supply your own thermal paste.

Kasey,Your question is very difficult to answer without know what motherboard you intend to use to install this CPU. How much memory does the system have, what is the form factor for the CPU, and what bridges are on the motherboard. You must answer these questions first before choosing a CPU.

If I understand your question correctly: That would generally come with the processor, not the motherboard, but LGA2011 series processors do NOT come with heatsink/fan assemblies.

Not unless you are planning to replace the heatsink as well. It has a little 40mm sunflower fan set into the heatsink that has already failed once for me.

I wouldn't suggest overclocking with the stock heatsink I've always read that it is unsafe. You void warranty by overclocking so I personally wouldn't risk it.

I bought this product because of how it installs. It comes with a bracket that has to be installed underneath the motherboard. This bracket provides the screw holes for the screw mounts on the fan/heatsink. This is a much more secure way of mounting the unit and my system has been running much more efficiently.
