The heatsink mounting on Intel's new LGA1200 platform (code name Comet Lake S) is identical to all LGA115x sockets (LGA1150, LGA1151, LGA1155, LGA1156).... Noctua confirms CPU coolers are compatible with Intel LGA1200
who knew, its actually AMD being a dick in this regard, thankfully im okey with zip ties and so i kept my 5yo cooler
AMD stuck with the same cooler mount since socket 754 way back in 2003 (or socket 939 for aftermarket mounting brackets). That's a LONG time. I'm still using this ancient heatsink (now with a Noctua fan) on my AM4 build: https://www.newegg.com/asus-arctic-square/p/N82E16835101010 Still works great and I got it for $25 new. It didn't fit perfectly because I wasn't able to use all of the original mounting hardware, but it still stayed planted after I moved recently. I think the more "centered" mount holes for AM4 was a good move. Inconvenient for those who have these old heatsinks, but necessary for the really bulky ones we have today.
damn i didnt know it was that old, i kinda miss those days when there were so many options, completely different designs and not just the same "tower-dualtower-clc" standard we have today
