Supermicro CPU Cooler Compatibility for Socket H4 (LGA 1151)?

[Yamabushi]

Please, pardon my ignorance, but are Supermicro Socket H4 (LGA1151) boards compatible with typical aftermarket CPU coolers such as Noctua, Thermalright, etc.? I'm considering using a SM board for a workstation build. Thank you in advance for your help!

Cheers,
Pete

I would imagine Noctua, etc... make some CPU coolers that do work.

Visit their site, and they will list comparability.

Not all of theirs will work on that, but then again not all of theirs work between all generations either

So Supermicro is not using the standard LGA1151 mount then, the mount that is generally interchangeable with 1150, 1155, 775?

It is not always about the socket / mount, but whether the heatsink might foul memory sockets etc around it.

Check out - CPU coolers retail - Products for a small number of quoted compatible boards...

Supermicro also list some of their own - Supermicro eStore - Server CPU Heatsink
