Old cooler question for Sandybridge

[Hedge]

Will my Noctua NH-u12f be worthless for sandybridge or will there be a bracket released? I don't know much about these things. Thanks

Should imagine they will release a bracket, i am sure they did it when i5/i7 was launched, (or soon after).

1155 is using the same mounting holes as 1156 so current coolers will fit.

From a similar question the other day:-

All socket 1156 coolers work with socket 1155.
