Working with LGA 1156?

[Michi86]

Hey guys, I'm thinking about getting myself the Scythe Zipang 2 für my ASUS P7P55D with a i7 860 Intel processor because I heared of it as a very silent cpu-cooler. The point is that the ASUS board has a LGA 1156 Socket an the package of the Zipang 2 tells us not that it is compatible to it. On the other hand all the online-shops say it is. What's the truth now?

Or can you offer me a better, more silent an compatible Scythe-cooler?

Thx in advance.

Hello,

you can use the Zipang 2 with LGA 1156 Socket it´s 100 percent compatible. The VTMS Clips in the package worked fine with 1156. Problem was that the Socket LGA 1156 come very late and the Zipang 2 had after release the new VTMS clips integrated (nearly 3/4 year before release LGA1156), but on the release time from Zipang 2 we can´t make puplic that it´s compatible with LGA 1156. Now we can after official release from Intel
