HS compatability????

[mrhappy50]

I was wondering due to the possibility of upgrading to something better if my cpu HS will work on a socket 1156 mobo. It says it'll work with a 1366 cpu but I duno if the mounting holes are different or what. Here's what I have http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835233029

The heatsink would work , but you would have to buy a new backplate for 1156 compatibility.
