Hey,
So I'm building a new PC and a lot of users were recommending be quiet! coolers but when I was reading their description almost none of them are mentioning the 1151 socket, just 1150 and 1155..

is there a reason for it? or its the same as 1150 and 1155??

Thanks

1151 will fit on 1150/1155. A lot of sites haven't updated the descriptions.

So just take into account the usual stuff like RAM clearance and first PCI slot clearance, and case's max CPU cooler height.

I'm running 1151 with a be quiet! Dark Rock TF CPU Cooler. I'm only running a i5-6600K but temps have been extremely low even with a good overclock.
