The ‘X’ that connects to the stand off screws can fit with almost any motherboard ( Socket AM2+, Socket AM3, Socket AM3+, Socket B (LGA 1366), Socket FM1, Socket FM2, Socket FM2+, Socket H (LGA 1156), Socket H2 (LGA 1155), Socket H3 (LGA 1150), Socket LGA 1151, Socket R (LGA 2011), Socket R (LGA 2011-v3)). ![]() The manual is mediocre at best, but I didn’t need to watch a YouTube video in order to install the cooler.
