Intel LGA115x and LGA1200 Quiet CPU Coolers
Please note: All coolers compatible with LGA1151 will also fit LGA1200, as their mounting holes are the same.
LGA1151 is Intel’s newest mainstream socket which replaced LGA1150. Compatible CPUs include Core i3, Core i5 and Core i7. The “Core i7” brand is used to refer to LGA1155/6, LGA1136 or LGA2011 processors so make sure you know which socket type your motherboard has before buying a CPU cooler. If you are wondering what the difference is between LGA1151, LGA1150, LGA1155 and LGA1156, then from a cooler point of view, the answer is nothing. The sockets are mechanically identical so if a cooler will fit LGA1150 then it will also fit LGA1151, LGA1150, LGA1155 and LGA1156, or vice-versa.
As always, if you are still unsure which CPU cooler is right for you, please read our article “How do I choose a CPU cooler?” and remember to check the TDP, (i.e. its maximum heat output measured in watts) of your CPU to aid identifying a suitable cooler.

The table below provides information about each cooler to help you quickly identify the most suitable product for your needs. Each column can be sorted, making it easy to determine a cooler of a certain height or a specific noise level. Please note, AIO water coolers are not shown on this table due to their unique characteristics.
