I'm looking at buying a thermaltake water 2.0 extreme CPU cooler.

When I upgrade my CPU 3 years down the road, will I be able to purchase new mounting hardware and keep the rest of the cooler?

Thanks for the feedback.

why would you need to do that? It should come with both AMD and Intel mounting brackets. I confused on the question? It shouldn't matter the CPU as long as the socket on the motherboard is the same. I imagine you wont be upgrading motherboard and CPU?

PS: LGA 2011, and am3+ are the newest sockets and should be around for longer than 3 years.
