Hello RR3,
Thank you for posting on the Intel* Community.
These are our recommendations when looking for a compatible cooling solution:
- Go to product specifications page.
- In the Search specifications bar type in the Intel® product needed.
- Once the specifications window opens, look for the TDP under the Performance section.
- Look for Sockets Supported under the Package Specifications section. (The socket is the component that provides the mechanical and electrical connections between the processor and motherboard.)
- Compare the TDP and socket information of the Intel® CPU information with the TDP and socket information of the CPU cooler.
- The TDP value of the CPU cooler must be higher than the TDP of the Intel® processor.
- The socket used by the CPU cooler must be the same as the one used by the Intel® CPU.
I was checking the specs of the cooler you sent, according to the EVGA website the cooler is compatible with Intel LGA20XX/1200/115X/1366 and upcoming variants, the Intel® Core™ i9-10940X X-series Processor uses the FCLGA2066. We cannot ensure compatibility, since the EVGA* website does not show the TDP of the cooler.
Our best recommendation is to follow the above steps to find a compatible cooling solution, and before buying it, check with the manufacturer to verify the specifications and full compatibility.
Best regards,
