Will my old cooler fit my new build?

jamesj98 · Jun 14, 2018

Hi,

I currently have a Cooler master Hydro Series H100 Extreme cooling my i5-3570k and will be upgrading my pc soon which will be powered by the 8600k series processor.

My question is would I be able to swap the cooler from my old build to this build and save some money?

Thanks.

You just have to check if the mounting bracket is the same for both cpu sockets. If it's different, is it available from corsair?

Yes, it's all about mounting brackets. You should check their website and see which ones it came with. I would say you would be OK, but please check.

Nice chip you are replacing, should sell it

Sockets 1155 and 1151 have same mounting holes.

I'm personally not sure where I'd get the information from for the mounting brackets.

The PC was originally bought from a company who builds them six years ago. The reason I'm upgrading is because of issues I've had with it. The company who built it suggested RAM, but no tests or torubleshooting could confirm it, a few months later my GPU fried and was replaced under warranty with the PSU.

I keep getting issues which disappears with new installations of Windows, but they get replaced with new ones. Crashing, inability to update and getting some bizzare issues where I couldnt even open my display setting to change my resolution.

Blue screens on the initial start up, waking from sleep which would then reset all my applications installed which would require log in or license keys

Another thing, from time to time the bios does fail to load which would leade to believe it's the motherboard?

I don't know, but the point with this upgrade now would be to save money wherever I can without compromising performance. Would anyone be able to give some advice on where to find out information on if the mounting brackets are the same?

Unless it's a custom build from brand name manufacturer like Dell or HP etc. and it's using standard MB, cooler mounts same way on 1151 socket for 8600K as it is on socket 1155 your present 3570k is on. So it will fit.

It was built originally from a company called Palicomp. So it isn't a recognised brand name in terms of Dell, HP etc....

So I'm guessing the mount should be the same then?
