After ramdomly reading http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/ [...] ade-review i realised my mobo comes with LGA775 cooler mount holes, does that mean i can install any if not ALL types of LGA775 cooler for my corei7?

Quote :

This is LGA1366 socket, but Foxconn keep the 775 cooler’s mount hole.
A real smart design for users
The CPU power supply parts, the board put 6-phase PWM on.
I think it’s enough for i7 normal usage.

^Most of the new LGA775 coolers, such as the Core Contact, S1283, has more than enough surface area for i7.

@OP: Yes, you can use MOST LGA775 coolers with that. Older LGA 775 coolers such as the Arctic Freezer,etc may not work well.
