As a reminder, my CPU is i7 860 @ 2.80GHz (8 CPUs), ~2.8GHz , and this new fan I have sitting around came with this CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819116501

    If it is interchangeable, would this perhaps help my temps even more than just cleaning up the old one?
    1156/1155 use the same heatsink I believe, had to varify by checking myself in the boxes, yes they are the exact same heatsink besides the sticker.


    Just remember with the push pin ones to go in a X pattern and make sure the pins are fully seated down.
