Question: are lga 1150 and 1151 coolers compatible?
Answer: In general, yeah. The only real change from LGA 1150 to 1151 was in the arrangements of the contact points on the chip, the actual socket is exactly the same size. ... Not every OEM / Retailer has updated compatibility lists but you should be able to expect that most LGA 1150 coolers would fit on an LGA 1151 system.
