Question 1

is this item compatible with socket 1150?

Accepted Answer

Yes.  The CPU cooler is compatible with the socket 1150 CPUs.  I am using it with an Intel Core i5-4670k overclocked to 4200 and am experiencing absolutely no problems.  And it is q-u-i-e-t!  Hope this help you with your decision.  I was considering water cooled options, but this met my needs admirably as I am not overclocking to the extreme.

Question 2

Can i put it on the am3+ motherboard?  CPU is AMD FX6300

Accepted Answer

Yes. It fits well on my AM3+ motherboard with an FX processor.

Question 3

I have an Antec 300 case. Will this fit it?

Accepted Answer

I have this Cooler in a Rosewell Mid Size case and it is a very easy fit. Your Antec 300 case should be the same. You will have to remove the motherboard from the case to install the cooler, unless the side of the case is open where the cpu socket is. My Rosewell case has a opening on the side giving me access to the bolt holes to attach the cooler.

Question 4

Could this fit an AMD AM3+ Socket?

Accepted Answer

I run an i7, so I can't say from experience, but have two ideas to figure out the answer to your question.  First is to check the list of processors, rather than the slot, that this works with.  You can find this info on the cooler master site (can't post the link).

Second would be to find another cooler that is compatable with AMD AM3+ and see if it is also compatable with AM3, AM2+, AM2.  If other coolers are backwards compatable I would assume this one if forward compatable.

Also, I didn't realize this when I bought it, but note that this is a 3 pin fan, not 4 pin, which makes it trickier to manage your fan speed (normally will just spin at full power).

Hope this helps.

Question 5

Does this item fits on a AMD3+ motherboard?

Accepted Answer

am not sure about the AMD motherboards, i fitted it on a EVGA SR 2 LGA 1366 mobo. i had to change back place of the motherboard to a different one which was supplied with the mobo, the cooler have several fitting options check the specifications on your board.

Question 6

The specifications don't say if it is compatible with AM3+ Is it compatible? (Sorry, if they do say, and I'm just not seeing it.)

Accepted Answer

Yes in the video it is specifically answers other compatibility and am3+ is in the list

Question 7

I have a EVGA Hadron Air Mini ITX case. It can fit a full size GPU. I was wondering if this will fit inside that case or if anyone has already tried it?

Accepted Answer

Your EVGA Hadron case can fit a full-size GPU, so I'm assuming it can fit this CPU cooler in it as well.

I found these for you.

Heatsink Dimensions
    115 x 62.3 x 141mm (Cooler Master Hyper N520)

EVGA Hadron Width: 6.6in – 169mm

The Hyper N520 is under the width of the EVGA Hadron, so it looks as if you're safe to go ahead and buy that CPU cooler. I've owned one before, and I loved it.

You should be good to go. Enjoy.

Question 8

asus z77 sabertooth /azza 9000 case inverted question

hey guy/ peeps im looking at getting this with sabertooth z77 in a azza 9000 case . yes keeping cpu at bottom , when its is install what way are the fans located  . meaning if cup is toward bottom of case can this be install with intake near bottom of case and exhaust on the up side     trying keep air flow in same direction? ,,
                           thanks

Accepted Answer

If the mainboard mounting holes are symmetrical (evenly spaced in a square) then you can rotate the cooler 90 degrees either direction.

The cooler has a plate that attaches to the bottom for the different CPU configurations (AMD or Intel) and that plate connects to the mainboard.   There is a back plate that attaches to the back of the mainboard with a universal set of holes.

It appears to me that the holes for a given CPU are symmetrical, so you can rotate the cooler any direction.

Question 9

When I installed this cooler on my LGA 1155 CPU a fan error pop up in the bios and only one of the fans where running , could it be because the adapter is three pin and my motherboard is a four pin how could I fix this ?

Accepted Answer

Provided you put the three pins on the right connections there shouldn't be a problem. I would make sure it was plugged in correctly or try the other fan cable on the connection where the dead fan was. Make sure the computer is off before removing and replacing fan connections. If the fan still doesn't work then the fan is dead. If the other fan fails to start then the connection on the motherboard may be dead.

Question 10

Will this fit in a Dell XPS 8700 Case?

Accepted Answer

this cooler will certainly fit any atx motherboard. also most any micro atx. But the proof is in the specs. they are listed in the specification section of the page that newegg uses for this product.

cpu cooler then measure your case and you will have your for sure answer
