Skt 775 HS on LGA1366?

ihrsetrdr · May 28, 2009

I have several heat sinks for skt 775's(eg: Scythe Ninja) that have back plates and thru-bolt to mounts on the topside of the motherboard. I have not yet gotten a skt 1366 motherboard, and was wondering if such skt 775 heat sinks could be used?

1366 has a wider hole pattern. I had to get a new 1366 back plate to get my Ultra 120 ex on.

Thanks, I guess then that it's time to give-up all my skt 775 goodies...

I'm sure there are s1366 mounting brackets for your sinks. See if the manufacturer carries them.

scythe has 2 different types of mounting brackets for S1366. You can buy em for like 7 bucks for either of em. I actually used one set (2 separate bracket set) to mount my S775 waterblock on 1366.

I think there are a couple of X58 motherboards that have mounting holes for both 1366 and S775 heatsinks.

Ah, good to know- maybe can get a couple more miles out of the Ninjas.

I got a Zalman adapter in order to use my CNP9500 on my i7. Newegg sells them for like $5.00

The Asus P6TSE for example.
