Been trying to investigate the fun world of LGA2011-3 coolers and it has been difficult.

The case can take a 240mm AIO, or it can take an aircooler up to 150mm in height. 145W is not a lot nowdays, but I am a little lost in all the options since the socket is old and has different variants.

Honestly, the cheaper, the better. If there's some aircooler that can do it for $50 it that would be preferred to getting a 240 AIO for $100.

One of the things I've seen mentioned is that LGA1366 coolers work on LGA2011, but I am not sure if this is true. If it is, then I might dig up my old LGA1366 custom loop and just utilize that. I'll just need new flexible tubing but that's not expensive.

The 2011-3 socket is in this variant:

Yeah mounting holes are the same on X58,X79,X99,X299 so it should fit without any problems I personally used same Air cooler on X58(Lga1366) and later on X79 and X299 my advice to you if you going to use air cooling is just make sure to have proper air flow in your case and if you can mount 2 coolers on your heat sink basically same goes for water cooling as well make sure to have space in case to mount your AIO and to have nice air-flow in your case....GL
