the question is to mount a custom rectangular 775 heatsink on 1155 socket. you will need to ensure there is good enough contact between cold plate and cpu surface.  normally that is accomplished with just the right amount of screw fastener pressure and thermal paste.  with current large foot print of heatsink, you would not be able to use any screw to fasten it to the cpu top.  it will just be sitting there by gravity.  not a good way to have thermal contact. why not get a coolermaster hyper evo 212 which has versatile socket compatibility.  it is quite popular and suitable for non enthusiastic general purpose cooling.  definitely better than stock air cooler.
Can anyone let me know if i can use the heatsink (OG8113) from a OPtiplex GX280 or Dimension 8400, in an OPtiplex 7010 miniTower..  I been seeing some mounting adapters but nothing really found on the heatsink in question.... It has the black plastic clips that hold it in, its also flat... Lots of copper tho! lol   Actually solid copper on the bottom with 3 pipes...Just seems solid imo.  Im using a stock heat sink but recently added a psu, graphics card, idling at 50c...Seems like it was lower before but not sure...been awhile since i monitored it, after i put paste on about a year ago.. Anywho, just really want to know if this is somehow possible, with adapters of some sort. I have another one on the way, but this seems to be built alot better than what i got.  Staying cheap is htis sytem is a stock rebuild...Thanks[IMAGE][IMAGE][IMAGE][IMAGE]
