Coolers compatible with Intel LGA 1155, 1156, and 1151 sockets feature a universal mounting system, as the distance between the mounting holes on all three platforms is the same — 75 mm diagonally. This means that most modern coolers labeled “LGA 115x” can be installed on any of these sockets without the need for an additional adapter.

Generally, these coolers are divided into two main types — air and liquid (AIO). Air coolers are more common and provide sufficient heat dissipation for most Core i3, i5, i7, and Pentium/Celeron processors on these sockets. They typically consist of an aluminum or copper heatsink, one or more heatpipes, and a fan ranging from 92 mm to 120 mm in diameter. More powerful models, such as the Deepcool GAMMAXX 400 or Cooler Master Hyper 212, can efficiently cool CPUs with a thermal design power (TDP) of up to 130–150 W.

Liquid coolers (AIO) for LGA 115x usually come as closed-loop systems with radiators measuring 120, 240, or 360 mm. They provide more stable temperatures under heavy loads and are ideal for overclocking or use in hot climates. Models like the Snowman KS240 or ID-Cooling ZoomFlow are well-suited for cooling even high-performance CPUs.

Cooler fans compatible with LGA 1155/1156/1151 typically connect to the motherboard via a 4-pin PWM connector, allowing for automatic speed regulation based on CPU temperature. The noise level of most models ranges from 20 to 35 dBA, which is considered comfortable for home use.
