AMD stock cooler on intel socket?

Potato builder · May 15, 2017

So I really like the AMD spire stock cooler but I have an intel LGA 1151 socket, any chance I can fit it on, or am I buying a Ryzen 5 at Christmas?

Not without some serious modification and creation of retention brackets.

Christmas gift is coming from AMD.

Looks like you are getting a Ryzen 5 with a motherboard on Christmas. The two sockets are completely different. If that was the case, everyone wouldn't be complaining waiting for new AM4 backplates for aftermarket coolers.

You're gonna build a new system just cause you like the AMD cooler?

LOL, I need a new CPU anyways, I only have an i3 7100

I mean it's not BAD, but it works. I would recommend staying with the Intel brand and just getting a nice looking aftermarketer cooler. That's my three cents.
