Coolers for Socket AM3+?

[Instynx]

Don't know if I should post this in here or in the AMD Processor thread, if it needs to be moved I won't get butt-hurt.

My question is: Does anyone know if the new AMD socket AM3+ cooler mount is going to be different enough that current-gen aftermarket coolers will not fit? Or is the pin size the only difference? I'm looking at either a Cooler Master V6GT or a Corsair H70, but they only have up to AM3 listed for compatibility. I'm going to be building an all new rig as soon as the ASUS Crosshair V comes out, but I'm growing impatient and want to start buying some parts before.

Thanks!!

AM3+ has the same mounting hardware.

Anything that fits on AM2 and beyond will work w/ AM3+.

Awesome! Thanks for the info.

so do you have the H70 installed on the AM3+ board yet? I'm wondering the same thing.

AM2 = AM2+ = AM3 = AM3+ mounting-wise. They're all the exact same thing.
