Thermaltake Offers Free LGA 2011 Upgrade Kits
Thermaltake will be offering free sets of cooler mounting kits to those who have purchased Bigwater 760 Plus, Frio OCK, or Frio CPU coolers (maybe Contac 30 and Contac 39 as well) prior to October 2011.
Thermaltake will also be adding the aforemetioned kits to all compatible cooler packages in both retail and e-tail stores, once the Intel Sandy Bridge-E processor launch is confirmed.
LGA 2011 |
LGA 1366 |
Among various physical attribute changes, the most notable difference is that there are no 'pass-through' holes for the mounting mechanism. On the LGA 1155/1156 and LGA 1366 motherboards, a mounting retention would pass through the motherboard and be retained by either plastic push pins or a variation of backplate and mounting screw combination depending upon the cooler used. With the LGA 2011 socket, the main mechanism to retain the CPU in the socket also has threaded tabs which are where the cooler will be mounted.
More information on how to get your free mounting kit is available on this page, but basically you'll have to contact the store where you've purchased the cooler, contact Thermaltake's support, or just wait and buy a cooler that already comes with such a kit.
