New "Republic of Gamer" boards (Asus) are equipped with the new X-Socket™ system. The X-Socket™ structure allows the installation of LGA1366 compatible CPU coolers on a LGA2011 socket. Benefits are evident: LGA1366 CPU Coolers can be easily migrated to the new board. At present, X-Socket™ comes with  Rampage IV Extreme / Formula Series Mainboards. Presently, Scythe LGA1366 compatible CPU Coolers are tested for their compatibility with X-Socket™ architecture.

Scythe announces compatibility of its' CPU coolers to Intel's LGA 2011 socket. The required accessory for mounting on LGA 2011 socket is included in all current models labeled "Rev. B". Due to high TDP characteristics of LGA 2011 CPUs, Scythe recommends the adoption of high perfomance CPU coolers.

Scythe is officially confirming the compatibility between its own CPU Coolers and new sockets FM1 and AM3+. All current Scythe CPU Coolers models are therefore already compatible to the new to AMD® sockets FM1 and AM3+. Users can either utilize the Scythe CPU Coolers they own or get a new CPU Cooler from the shops as no extra clips or mounting kits are required.
