Using Intel stock I7 cooler with Intel Duo Core

Anyone have any experience with this. I have a defective cooler on my Intel Duo E6300 CPU but I have a new Intel stock cooler for the I7 CPU. If possible I would like to use the I7 cooler as a replacement on the Duo Core processor. Anyone have any experience with this? Thanks in advance

Those are two different sockets, so you would need to look at the mounting and clip. I've never used a stock cooler on anything but the cpu it came with. A lot of the after market coolers can handle both, but usually come with a variety of clips for doing so. I am almost certain the hole pattern is a little different between the two.

Yes, I believe you are correct. I did a little more research and found that the appears to be a 3mm difference in mounting holes.

Newegg has the CoolerMaster Hyper 212 + for $20 after rebate. If you have room in your case, that bad boy will keep things cool. »www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a···35103065

If that's not in the budget, I have a new-in-box Core2Duo stock Intel cooler I could send you for $10 shipped.

The CoolerMaster may fit, have to measure in the morning. Yes it would be in my budget as have a credit at Newegg, that plus rebate brings it down to $10 plus free shipping. Your stock cooler is also a viable option. I no longer have paypal so would have to be MO if go that route.
