Cooling tips

[MoridinUK]

Hi all,

I have a titan Fenrir on my cpu (intel core 2 quad q6600) I was wondering if anyone knew whether I could fit it to a 1150 mainboard?

Or whether I'd need a part or a whole new cooler, I'm thinking of using to replace a stock cooler for an i5-4440.

Cheers!

I don't think so, not without a different bracket, anyway.
I've just done some Google-fu, and drawn a blank, so you may have to buy a new cooler...

Further Googlage is more encouraging. Something about 'universal clips to fit a wide range of sockets'. I think the answer may be to try it and see if it fits!

Yeah I did some googling and ended up realising I probably need to find out which overly long model number it is. some 775s seem no chance but they also have many universal ones too...

Try it and see isn't a great option really, but I can always use the stock one while I wait for a good one to arrive!

Is a cheap cooler like the freezer pro 7 a better cooler than a stock one for something like an i5-4440 with no overclock on it?

Yes, I have one - it's decent

If you have the space I'd take this over the Freezer 7:

The Freezer 7 is nice but it's gotten a lot worse in value over the years, it used to be the absolute best budget heatsink by miles.

I've got the space.. but I laso have an old freezer pro, but I expect that getting a fitting bracket would end up costing almost as much as a new one lol

Ok so the titan is going to cooler an i5 much better than this right?

The titan looks like it should fit, a a simple bracket could make it fit!

I have this model: Fenrir, the V2 one but I have both plates from the V2 and RB (not the red one) pictures. Titan's other coolers, seem to say they fit 1150 if they fit 1155 and 1156 which this fan does..

What do you think?
