Looking for assistance with an 80 mm distance CPU cooler? Let me know if you need guidance!
Hello everyone, I'm facing a challenge with my "Intel® Core™ i5-660 Processor" setup. It's running on an HP Z200 FMB-0901 Rev.1.0 board and I have the correct cooler, but I don't have the matching backplate to fit it properly. The socket is 1156, yet the backplates I found online are smaller (1150, 1151, 1156). I measured about 80mm instead of the official 75mm distance mentioned on Wikipedia. Anyone know what size backplate should work for an 80mm gap? I'm trying to build a media server using parts I already have and don't want to spend much on new components. Thanks in advance!
According to my understanding, LGA1366 dimensions are approximately 80mm between holes. It seems HP Z400 Workstations likely adopted this spacing for their standard LGA1366 design, possibly extending it to the more affordable LGA1156 version. It could also be an exception or non-standard configuration.
