I try to keep one CPU cooler for every socket I have, to test CPUs. But there are coolers that can be fitted to more than one type of socket and I consider it a bonus because I don't have enough space for old hardware.
The exception is a number of Slot1 CPUs because they have naked cores without any protection against chipping it so sometimes I just leave the cooler on, they don't have markings on the core anyway. |
