He's already got a decent cooler so he won't need the stock one (not that that's of much use anyway).

Is it S1155/S1156 compatible (they're the same fittings)?

I used a bit of forward thinking when I chose the cooler. I wanted something he could use on his current cpu and that would work with most other socket types.

This is the one: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-034-CM&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=1395

Most reviews say it's one of the best in it's price bracket.
