i'd take a guess at TRUE or the noctua, both which are same as the 775 socket(if you already have one) you can buy a mount kit of lga1333 sockets for around 10 quid.

There's a 1366 called a Cooler master V8 thats supposed to be pretty good, god knows of you can get one in the UK.

been looking at the skt1366 TRUE and Noctua for my new set-up personally, both are rated as one of the top air coolers for skt775 so i don't see why it will be any different for skt1366

not to sure on that coolermaster personally, looks a bit OTT and messy

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...21&name=Noctua NH-U12P SE1366 (Socket LGA1366)

Carries on the excellent performance of U12P but on the i7 platform.

Asus Triton 81, released december 10, like the thermalright true but comes with 2 fans attached, although they're only 92mm fans

re

thx for the replies..i read in another forum that the V8 is very very good for overclocking on air...so good that they have adopted using it themselves when they build pc's....
