Question 1

Does heatsink come with thermal paste already applied?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it has a thermal paste square patch already attached. All you need to do is remove the protective paper covering it and attach the units to your cpu as detailed in the instructions.

Question 2

Do you have to pull the Mother Board?

Accepted Answer

depends what heatsink you have on your mobo to begin with, if there isn't one (no backplate) this thing just snaps right in. If you did previously have one with a backplate, you may have to remove that backplate. hope this helps.

Question 3

My mobo only has screw slots, can't remember if old heatsink used screws or push buttons.  
2 questions: 
Do push buttons work in screw holes (provided space behind)?

does this come with screws to refit?

Accepted Answer

Michael,
I purchased this earlier this year and am using it. Works great.

The heatsink/fan I had on my motherboard before was of the screw on type with the "X" plate underneath the motherboard and using screws from the topside to tighten the heatsink against the CPU.

THIS heatsink uses the pushpins.  As long as you have clearance under the motherboard, and you should,  you simply use the push pins on the heatsink. Works perfectly fine. The two types ARE interchangeable.   So go ahead and buy this heatsink and know that it will indeed cool your CPU.

Hope this helps you.

Question 4

What is the exact height of this cpu cooler? It says total height is 91mm, but it also says that the fan is 25mm and the heatsink is 36.4mm which would be about 62mm. I need to know as I am trying to get it in a rather small case.

Accepted Answer

it is 92x92x25... i.e., 92 wide, 92 long, 25 high... at least that's what cnet says I typed in "dimensions RCX-Z90-AL" in to google... having said that though, I would expect it to be closer to 55mm based on the pic... 25mm is an inch and the pic looks like the _fan_ is an inch thick so twice that plus a little more (for the screws) and you're probably safe.

Question 5

does it fit intel 1151 socket?

Accepted Answer

I don't know. I am using it on a 775 socket.

Question 6

does it come with a mounting bracket?

Accepted Answer

No bracket. Just the mounting posts.

Question 7

I have the older version of this cooler bought back to 2011. The box says it's compatible to 775, but the current version could be used for 1150 cpu, etc. Do I need a special adaptor or plate to be able to be used with the newer CPU? If so, where can I get it. I emailed Rosewill many days ago, and hasn't hear an answer, please help!!!!

Accepted Answer

hello
Yes this fits socket 775. however its cheap and the plastic clips that lock the cooler to the motherboard tend to break. good luck
