Cooling for the 1156 Socket!

[Steel_Messiah]

I am having a really hard time finding a compatable cooling system for the 1156 socket! I think there are a lot of similarly frustrated people out there with the release of the i5. Can we start a list of:

1) 1156 Cooling units and

2) Adapters for the 1156 socket.

Much appreciated!

I bought the Coolermaster Hyper TX3 as a cheap fix until I found a suitable permanent solution that I would feel ok OCing with.

Several of the Zalman coolers on the OcUK shop website are compatible with this socket mate.

The CNPS10x Extreme and Quiet, also the CNPS9900 works to, Scythe Ninja II Rev.B, Coolermaster Hyper TX3, Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2 and Alpine 11 Pro all support LGA1156.

::edit::

LoL, got beaten to it!

Are any of the above solid buys from user experience? Or should I wait for more options to become available?

And how is it performing?



I'd wait. Unbelieveably, all the cooler manufacturers seem to have been caught with their pants down on this launch and I got my local engineering fabricator to make me up a Megahalems mount. It works almost as well as my 120mm custom water setup that I was using in the i5 overclocking thread.

Actually I am still waiting for the lot of it to be delivered from OcUK! *Paces back and forth impatiently* I am going to need a new game to test things out with any recommendations? Is Far Cry 2 a good game to benchmark off of?
