Are the z270 mono blocks compatible with the z370s
Its not really the socket
Its not the socket i'm concerned about. Its whether the motherboard blocks will fit the same to cool the vrms etc.
"Many have assumed that Coffee Lake can be supported on older Intel mainboards because of their use of a common socket, but that cannot be further from the truth. Yes, both Z270 and Z370 use LGA 1151 CPU sockets but the similarities end whenever you look at exactly what each pin is used for. "
The socket type is identical thus all coolers should fit by the sound of it

According to the configurator the EKWB asus M9H monoblock will fit the Maximus X Hero which is awesome news!!!
No problem.
Apparently the Maximus H 9 Monoblock fits it.
This is according the EKWB configuration website so it should be reliable info
If you look at the EK tables many of the confirmations just say visual not physical anyway... if the sockets the same and VRMs in the same position the monoblock is good to go.
I already ordered the z270 Apex block because there was only 1 left
Nice I will be fitting my maximus hero 9 block to the mobo tomorrow shall let you know how it goes!
Not yet my 8700k hasn't come yet another 2 weeks apparently now. Told me I was getting it on Friday in the second round of 40 chips.
I will post here soon as it's on
I'm the other way got all the parts apart from the 8700k. Feel free to send yours over
Temps on the cpu with 4.8 all cores at 1.28 vcore max out around 75c which isn’t great. I had it at 5ghz but temps were too high will delid the cpu when I drain the loop for primochill vue to be put in should easily get the clock up.
