How did you find it.
On PC part picker.
Did you just have to go through each one. And visit there manufacturer sites
On pc part picker, it says it’s compatible
Yeah but all CPU cooler are compatible
No they aren’t
Coolers like the Peerless Assassin 120 se aren’t
You can always return it anyway if it doesn’t work
Yeah it says it when you click a cooler
It said the coolers I got are but they don't have the right brackets
All compatible https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/R79TMV
Added cpu and mobo for reference
These ones on PC part picker says it can but it doesn't fit
How so?
The srews are to small. I think it does reach. But they are to thin
how can the screws be to thin why is this a thing
okay i found out that the mother board needs coolers with the clips
The motherboard is x99 f8d
The black mounting points say 2011 on them so idk if I can use cooler that 2012 that have clips now
Touted as compatible with 20xx
So should in theory be compatible with 2011
Ty I'll have a look
The screw spots are a bit bigger on the motherboard than normal I but the back plate of the coolers I have now were able to go through except that only one on one side could lol
yeah i mean it's an ali board
it's not gonna be perfect lol
