    Is the Corsair H80i cpu cooler compatible with Intel Core i7 4770K?

    On the product page of the Corsair H80i it says that it supports Intel™ LGA 1155, 1156, 1366, and 2011. The Intel core i7 4770K is a LGA1150... Does this mean that i can't use the H80i for this cpu?

    If i can't use the H80i: Can you recommend another cpu cooler from corsair? (only 1-fan radiator)

    The H80i seems to be discontinued, and it's not listed on the Hydro-Series products page anymore.

    The H100i is still available and it says it supports the LGA1150 specifically.

    Compatibility
    •Intel™ LGA 1150, 1155, 1156, 1366, and 2011.

    All their current ones seem to support that socket.

    My guess would be the H80i will work as well, as the sockets are basically the same, but sight-unseen I'd go for one that specifically claims compatibility, and that's current.

    A LGA1155 heatsink can be installed on a LGA1150 motherboards. Nothing has changed in that regard since the 1156 socket was released.

    I am pretty sure there was evidence on the Corsair website that indicates this heatsink actually does support the LGA 1150 socket. Since the product your asking about has been discontinued its hard to actually know what information Corasair had posted.

    Amazon's Questions and Answers indicates it does

    The layout of the pins used to secure the heatsink has not changed since Sandybridge. The corsponding Intel Extreme sockets since the release of Sandybridge also have not been changed.

    Intel's pushpins are awful. I'm trying to install a screw mount, but I need to remove the push pins that are on my heatsink. How do I remove them? Am I supposed to cut them? If so, how?

    Ok well I ended up breaking the push pins, but standard tweezers can be used to pull the black tabs that are holding the black part of the push pin to the white part. Then its a matter of twisting the black piece off (usually breaking it), and then easily slipping out the white part.

    Are these the same pins used on the LGA775 heatsinks? If so, you just need to take a screwdriver and turn the pin counter clock wise about a quarter turn. Then you can just pull to pop it out.

    EDIT

    OK, I get what you are trying to do now. Solution: buy a new heat sink.
