Is it a stock cooler you have or an aftermarket one? In other words, did it come with your CPU or did you buy it separately?

Did you change processors as well as motherboards?

The motherboard you have is Intel socket 1150 and the Rajintek Themis black according the the manufacturer is designed to fit socket 1150. So you should be good to go

The Raijintek Themis fits ALL of these sockets:

AM2, AM2+, AM3, AM3+, FM1, FM2, FM2+, LGA1150, LGA1151, LGA1155, LGA1156, LGA1366, LGA2011, LGA2011-3, LGA775

But I wouldn't honestly recommend it unless you have limited options. For a few bucks more, the Cryorig H7 is a much, much better option.

But none of them may be necessary. You may simply need to transfer something from your old board, or obtain a backplate or adapter, depending on what you have now. If you're running your system at stock clocks (Not overclocking) then a stock cooler might be fine. If you WANT a better cooler, I'd spring for the extra few bucks and go with the much better Cryorig unit.
