1150/55/56/51 is the same.
That cooler is large, I had one briefly and it covered the top slot on a board it was fitted to.
I also seem to remember I had to remove the cases rear fan for it to fit.
I've got the latter, though I don't know what 'tim' is.
My current system / parts I will be replacing:
Z77-D3H
i5 3570K
8GB dual channel 1600mhz ram.
Don't bother. Just get yourself a SSD and a better GPU. More RAM would be the third priority.
The motherboard died, otherwise there's no way I would have upgraded.![]()
You don't get standoffs with a motherboard. They come with the case (Some have them pre-installed). So assuming you are reusing your current case then you will already have the standoffs.
