Hello, i recently purchased this cooler, and now i am in the stage to install on my motherboard (socket 1150). I want to know if this cooler is compatible with my motherboard which like i said is on socket 1150.
To be honest i bought this cooler for my old platform which was on socket 1156, but i recently upgraded my PC so i think that is time to install a new CPU cooler, in present i use intel stock cooler and the temperatures are fine, but in the future i want to play some games and i don't know if the stock cooler is build for this.
I read on the Zalman site that this cooler is compatible with socket 1150, but i saw that cooler have another installation accesories that differs from mine. I will try to attach some pictures, to show you what i want to say.
The cooler from ZALMAN site have this accesories for installation:
and the cooler that i bought have this accesories for installation:
PS: Until now i had only coolers that use for installation on my motherboard push-pin, so the installation was easy.
This cooler is the first that for the installation i must used screws, so my other question is: These kinds of coolers have some protection that assure a safe installation, i refer not to tight too much the screws and to damage my CPU or my motherboard. Thanks in advance.
