Question 1

Does it come with accessories for Socket 775? Thanks!

Accepted Answer

It came with one AMD, and one Intel mounting bracket. It is adjustable though. I believe it would fit without a problem, but I'm not 100% sure. In my opinion, the TPC812 is overkill for a socket 775 processor. The heatsink is also massive, so it may not fit properly in all cases. I needed a second set of hands just to get attached. It is extremely quiet though. If it was me , I would just get the TPC612 instead. It's easier to assemble, and more than adequate.

Question 2

What RAM fits underneath this beast?  I have one and my CORSAIR Dominator Platinum 32GB sticks do not fit, not even close.

Any recommendations? What are you using?

MOBO- 990FXa 
CPU-AMD FX-8350

Accepted Answer

Hello.

With my build, I am using Mushkin Blackline RAM sticks, 16GB, 4GB sticks each.

Question 3

will this cooler work on a intel LGA 1150 socket?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it works fine on my i7-4770K processor. Good cooler, and quiet too.

Question 4

Can this cooler fit in a Cooler Master CM Storm Enforcer?

Accepted Answer

Check the largest dimension then place a ruler on top of your cpu. Take the measurement in cm or inches. If you get anything over 6.2 inches (6.25 or above for safety) or 1.58 cm (1.75 or above for safety) then it should fit. Also if you were to have ram higher then 1.75 inches high off of your motherboard it wont fit. (assuming your ram is average distance from cpu socket.)

Question 5

So I just installed this thing in my computer 2011 socket type and while it dose seem to be held against the CPU it can move a bit. sliding a little to the left or right if i push on it.... 
Is this ok? anyone else have this happening?

Accepted Answer

Yes this normal I have mine installed and if I tap it (normally when plugging in the power to the Mobo, I do re center it a little when all is done because it won't move unless I actually cause it to) it wiggles a little not a lot but a little. You don't want it in there super tight because it's seated on top of your PCU and you want to avoid any extra direct pressure.

Question 6

Got a Coolmasster 812 enroute.  I have a LGA 1150 CPU
Do I use the "back bracket"?
If not, should I use it anyway, this cooler looks HEAVY?

Thank You

Accepted Answer

Im not shure about the specifics on that socket, but yes, I would use the bracket for the back of the motherboard. It is quite a large cooler and if, say the computer was to tip over, it may break the motherboard around the CPU socket.

Question 7

Will this fit an ASUS Z87 pro mb ?

From memory, I think it will be close.   Not sure

Accepted Answer

as long as you dont have large heat sinks on your ram you should be fine, mine is about a half inch over the ram.

Question 8

Would this cooler allow for high profile RAM (Corsair Vengeance models with heatsinks to be precise) on the Asus Z87 Pro, LGA 1150? Or will the dual channel ports be blocked, and should i use lower profile ram?

Accepted Answer

yes, there was enough clearance for the G.SKILL RipJaws memory with heat sinks that I installed next to the cooler. the Fan mounts seem to release easier then previous Versions (EVO) making it nicer to remove the fan to access the memory.

Question 9

Will this be able to handle a FX-9370 Processor?

Accepted Answer

Hello Torange d, 
I was asked to leave my opinion on if the “Cooler Master TPC 812” heatsink will work with a “FX-9370 Processor”. Honestly I’m not too sure…

Perhaps a bit of extra information may help you to decide. 
The user manual gives you instruction for installing the cooler on an “Intel Socket LGA 2011”, AMD Socket FM1/AM3+/AM3/AM2” and “Intel LGA 1366/1156/1155/775”.

I have an i7 CPU on motherboard socket “LGA 1155”. To find out what you have, open your PC case and took at the motherboard nest to the CPU area. (I did notice the metal area that went over the CPU was larger than the CPU surface area…)

A word of warning…
I knew this cooler was huge and it just fit into my tower- I have a classified large tower. So, if you have a ‘mid” sized case it will not fit. Additionally, my RAM/Memory had heatsinks. The cooler occupied at least 2 slots of RAM. Luckily, my dad had ‘regular’ height Ram so we just did a swap- the RAM not fits nicely under the cooler.

So far the cooler works VERY well. In the past, activities would push the temperature up to 80-104 degrees. Now the temperate under the same condition sits at 29-33 degrees.

I hope this helps you.

Question 10

Can I put 2 corsair SP120 fans on this heat sink?

Accepted Answer

I bought one extra 120mm fax and mounted it to the other side of the cooler. I checked on newegg and the corsair SP120 looks to be a 120mm fan so you should have no problems.
