The mounting brackets for both 1155 and 1156 are identical so any CPU heatsink built for 1156 will fit in 1155. The CPU sockets themselves are different and are NOT interchangeable. Putting an 1155 CPU in an 1156 socket will damage the CPU, the motherboard, or both. | ||

However, you should check the cooler specs just in case. Any cooler would list its compatibility. Any cooler made before the LGA1155 socket was introduced will not mention LGA1155 on the box. Again, any cooler that says it is compatible with LGA1156 will be compatible with LGA1155. They both have the exact same spacing on their mounting holes. | ||

I had a Cooler Master X6 and it only said LGA1155 on the box and it fit perfectly. | ||
