Socket Compatibility LGA 2011

For the socket LGA 2011, Intel specifies two different formats: SQUARE ILM & NARROW ILM. The spacing between the mounting screw positions for the Square  ILM is 80 x 80 mm, for the Narrow ILM 56 x 94 mm. Please note that all Scythe products stating compatibility to LGA 2011 refer ONLY to mainboards fitted with SQUARE ILM (80 x 80 mm spacing).

 

 

Compatibility Socket FM2


All Scythe products compatible to the AMD FM1 socket are compatible to motherboards fitted with the AMD FM2 socket as well and can be mounted without concern.

The baseplate

Dear customers,

since there have been some questions regarding the material of the CPU-cooler baseplates, here is some short information. There have been rumors around, that Scythe is using aluminium due to cheaper prices - this is just plain wrong. 

Due to its high susceptibility to oxidation, copper tends to change the surface colour during the long transport from the factory to our distributors. There is no satisfactory way to avoid this optical change. Because of this, all Scythe CPU coolers produced from the beginning of 2008 have a baseplate still consisting of copper, but they are now nickel-plated.
