CPU socket compatibility is typically listed with the computer product name and specifications in the owner’s manual.

Is 115X the same as 1151?

They replaced the last digit with an “X” for convenience. As all the current LGA sockets start with 115, all the “X” represents the last digit of the total pin count of the socket. Instead of writing them all out (i.e. 1151, 1155, 1156). So your CPU and cooler are compatible with all 115X series of CPU’s.

Does LGA 1151 cooler fit 1200?

“The heatsink mounting on Intel’s new LGA 1200 (code name Comet Lake S) is identical to all LGA115x sockets (LGA 1150, LGA 1151, LGA 1155, LGA 1156,” Noctua wrote this week on its FAQ page. “Therefore, all Noctua CPU coolers that support LGA 115x also support LGA 1200 and don’t require any mounting updates.”

What is the difference between LGA 2066 and LGA 1151 socket?

No, the LGA 2066 socket (AKA X299) is Intels’ Extreme platform. LGA 1151 is their Mainstream platform. LGA 2066 Core i9-7980XE 18 cores, 36 threads, $2000 USD. LGA 1151 Core i7-8700K, 6 cores, 12 threads, $260 USD.

Where can I find an LGA socket compatibility list?

You can usually find a compatibility list on the manufacturer’s support site. Check it before you make a purchase. Intel’s LGA 2011 socket arrived after 1155 and served as Intel’s extreme high-end chipset for Sandy Bridge-E/EP and Ivy Bridge-E/EP processors.
