My question is regarding a CPU water block and socket. Is the LGA2011 waterblock compatible with the LGA2011-3. I am looking at the Cooler Master Seidon 240M – All-In-One CPU Liquid Water Cooling System with 240mm Radiator and 2 Fans. I am not sure if it will work though.

yes the lga 2011 and the lga 2011-v3 are the same on the outside it´s just the pins that are diferent, and those coolers generally fit every socket on the market
