Quick H50 fitting question

[Smudge]

Hi all,

I have a H50 currently cooling a Q6600, bought back when they first came out. Today I ordered a 1155 mobo, 2500k, ddr3 ram and hope to just replace the old items. I was trying to do the upgrade on the cheap to cut costs.

I dug the old H50 box out of the loft to find any extra bits I need and it says it only has support for 1336, 1156 motherboards, not 1155.

I can run the stock cooler for the time being but will I need to invest in a new cooler or will the old one fit?

Cheers,
Matt.

1156 & 1155 will use the same mountain holes.

OCUK people are great

If I look at coretemp right now the Q6600 (at 3ghz) idle low temps are 19 to 23c (****** cold tonight in Denmark), im hoping I can push the 2500k to 4.5 or a bit more. safe with this cooler?

I think I have a tube of mx5 knockin about someplace.

Cheer,
Matt.
