Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO on AM2+

[Flogger23m]

Hello,

I've been looking for some pictures to see how the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO mounts on AM2+ motherboards. I am wondering if it mounts in a way that allows for the fan to blow into the rear exhaust case fan.

And as I might be upgrading to Intel in the future, will Intel's next socket be backwards compatible with these current coolers? Or will I likely have to buy an entirely new design?

At worst you'd have to buy new mounting hardware.
