If I have a standard 2011 cooler for my mobo will it work with a mobo that has a 2011 v3 socket?

Probably. The distance between the mounting holes is the same, but the CPU itself is a bit taller.

(Under the second set of pics): "The new LGA2011-3 socket apparently has the same mounting distance from hole-to-hole"

Bottom of the page: "he mounting holes are the same used for any Socket 2011 heat sink"

First paragraph: "old LGA 2011 CPU cooler will still work as the CPU cooler mounting holes remain the same"
