H-70

Alright Guys,

So I Picked up my H-70 tonight and looked at the box to find out it doesn't say 1155 but says 1156. Having just bought all my new kit, I was wondering if this will still fit.

Motherboard: Asus P8P67 Intel P67 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard - (Sandybridge) ** B3 REVISION **

Processor: i5 2500k

Cheers
Michael

the fixing holes on the mobo are exactly the same for 1155/1156 the only difference is one less pin in the cpu socket.

ok, finally got this fitted after fighting with it for ages today! So far so good with the temps! Especially underload, doesnt go above 59 when using prime 95.

Mine does that too on my H50. Doesn't seem like anything to worry about as long as your temps are fine so you know the block isn't dangling

EDIT: Presuming they both use the same backplate which i'm 90% sure they do.

as MrElve said, the back plates will be the same in perimiter
i would definatly say it would fit.

They do fit, the backplate will look wonky (ie not square to the socket) because of where the holes are. This is completely normal.
