Dell XPS 8500 CPU cooler

I'm looking for a CPU cooler for a DELL XPS 8500, I'm pretty sure it can fit 145mm or below CPU coolers, the cooler must be silent.

Thanks

Ignore, stupid question haha, on my behalf

Does the motherboard have standard cooler mounting holes?

You also need to check the existing backplate the heatsink screws into. It probably won't be compatible with a third party heatsink, and it may not be removeable.

I'm going to be using a Gigabyte motherboard which fits in there, socket 1155.
