You can mount Intel Box Cooler on AM4 without much modding

Is there a way to do the opposite and mount an AMD cooler on an Intel LGA 115- socket?

(fine print: I know the answer is "no," more likely than not. AM4, if memory serves, has wider spaced pins/screws so going from Intel to AMD is easy since you can finagle it diagonally.)

When it comes to mounting coolers...where there is a will, there is a way.

Or in the words of my good friend Dean from Koolance: as long as it works, it works.

Wise words. There are some interesting apples-to-apples comparisons that can be done here as far as settling whose box cooler works better (or rather, just by how much better).
