Hi guys,
I am looking to upgrade my CPU and found out that the overclockable K series of intel CPUs dont come with thermal paste or a cooler fan. I don't intend on OC'ing my CPU so i dont feel i need to buy a aftermarket fan to maintain low temperatures. And i want to guy the K series one as opposed to the 7600 as i want the extra .3ghz.

Would it therefore be possible to fit my i5 4570 standard fan onto my i5 7600k?
Or do all fans fit the same and i am totally misreading into this?
(I have never had to deal with fans before, apologies for my noobiness)

Many thanks!!!

Your not wrong, Intel has been using the same mounting holes so,

yes, the stock fan will work. I am sure of it.

Im not sure what a LGA115x is but the CPU and Motherboard i intend on buying are 1151 sockets, whereas the old motherboard and CPU (i5 4570) are S1150 sockets.

Does the "x" in "115x" stand for any variation of a number as long as it is 115?

 


Correct LGA 1156 1155 1151 etc

Many thanks!
May i also ask if this motherboard is okay for the i5 7600k bearing in mind i do not intend on OC'ing it? It will be paired with a GTX 1060 and 8gb of RAM.
