Intel Haswell Processor compatible with Hyper 212 Plus

[Unerring]

I have been using the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus cooler that usually supports the intel and amd sockets for quite some time now. I was now going to build up a new computer with Haswell support and therefore I was wondering if this cooler will be compatible with the new haswell processor. Does anyone have any information about same? Thanks.

The Hyper 212 Plus supports the LGA1155 sockets and Haswell will use socket LGA1150 which is confirmed by Intel. So, I doubt whether LGA1150 will have the same mounting specification as the LGA1155 or not. although I have heard from many places that it will be supported, since only the 5 pins from the LGA1155 is removed and arranged in a way to support the coolers that work on LGA1150.

From what ever site I have learned all are saying that Cooler master Hyper 212 Plus will be compatible with Haswell since haswell is based on LGA1550 which is similar to 1155/1156. Even if it doesnt you can get the top most coolers for this processor like the COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus, it will just cost a few more bucks to you.

You can also get Noctua's SecuFirm2 mounting kits for free for the older coolers of Noctua incase it doesnt support the new haswell LGA1150 socket. This was announced by the company itself and any owner of Noctua brands such as the NH-C14, NH-D14, NH-C12P SE14, NH-L12, NH-L9i, NH-U12P SE2, NH-U9B SE2 can obtain the NM-i115x kit at no additional cost.
