We put the CPU-Fan from socket 1155 on the LGA775
This short post was born all of a sudden: there was a simple task of finding an old cooler for the same old motherboard on a 775 socket. Quickly looking at what I didn’t have anywhere near, I decided to look in online stores - I only found coolers of the “initial pumping” from $ 12.5 and estimated that despite the fact that there is an Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.66 GHz processor and a motherboard on ASRock 775i65PE with support for two SATA, I realized that I won’t deal with wild overclocking on this system, and therefore there is absolutely no need for such cooling, and it’s probably not worth spending much money on a used system, although such a configuration will work perfectly as a file server or second home his PC, for example.
After all these thoughts, I decided to rummage more carefully in the blanks for PC components and suddenly remembered that there was somewhere a boxed cooler from Intel CPU i7-2600K 3.4GHz, which was not used due to the purchase and installation of the CoolerMaster V10 right away for the possibility of a relatively brutal overclock unlocked processor. From memory, the mounts are the same, and the compatibility of 1155 and 1156 inspired hope. Visually in the photo, the sockets are also sort of identical.
Rejoicing at the find, he began to try on the cooler to the motherboard and revealed a mismatch of holes with a spread of about 5 mm. That is, the 775th has a shorter hole distance from the center of the socket compared to 1155.
I was engaged in a search on the network for compatibility issues and found an option to install a cooler from the 775th for the 1155 processor, written by the way on our website (). Judging by this study, backward compatibility is lacking in principle.
However, having decided not to lose hope and in the end to go on an experiment for the sake of pure interest, he applied a little brute force for the initial stuffing into the nests of the legs of the base mount. Immediately it became clear that this should not be and skew is present. Having crammed all four legs (you should not be afraid that it will break - with proper effort without busting or using screwdrivers, everything goes pretty well, despite the perpendicular irregularities), the main task remains - setting the latches in the locking position, which required pressing them and passing the core through the center of the latches in the holes in the motherboard. This just caused fear of a possible damage to either the cooler itself, or the same motherboard itself.
Armed with caution, I nevertheless decided to try: a very tight pressure and subsequent dubious but clear clicks marked the fastening of the cooler in the socket. Visually, the cooler is correct, the latch heads are clearly in the collapse. Well, nothing - the main thing is to work!
As a test of the correct installation of the cooler, I decided to conduct a test for the processor warming up: the system was used on an open bench, measuring the temperature according to the testimony of the motherboard itself after an hour and a half showed 32 degrees. This testifies to the cooler’s excellent fit and, even among notorious writers, it cannot cause distrust in such a setup.
Well, so briefly I have narrated my struggle with fears and apprehensions. I hope that for those who wish to make such assemblies of iron, my post will give confidence both in their abilities and in the correctness of actions. Good luck
