Air equivalent for H60

Title says it all, this is on behalf of my friend he wants to exchange his Stock cooler for something decent, he was going get the H60 but read bad reviews so what is the air equivalent.

depends on what socket he has, he looking for a bulky heatsink im guessing?

Socket 1155, not sure on the other one, would have to ask him when he is next online.

The Thermalright Venomous X is a fantastic heatsink, still got mine, great bit of kit and fits 1155

Ask him what case he has as well.

Some of these coolers are very tall and won't fit in them all.

Also what type of RAM is he using as tall heat spreaders can interfere with the larger coolers.

Thanks, will tell him these!

He has the same case as me as I recommended he should get the 650D because he didn't want to water cool so there is really no need for the 800D. The Silver Arrow doesn't support socket 1155? It only supports 1156 not sure if it would work with 1155 though.

1156 and 1155 mounts are the same. Go for the Silver Arrow, it's a fantastic cooler. It will fit in the 650D fine but what RAM does he have? The cooler may not fit with RAM with tall heatsinks.
