Socket 1156 Coolers

[maddness]

Hi im looking for a socket 1156 cooler but not sure what to get, ive seen very few listed 1156 coolers, quite a few 1366 ones, are the coolers for 1366 and 1156 the same?

i even tried to install a 775 cooler in today it was close but like a few mm to small, i stopped before breaking the board

i tried another thermaltake bolt cooler (775) but the bolts didnt straighten out for the top plate lol

so before i kill this motherboard, can someone tell me what i should be looking for

also even the retail 1156 cooler felt like a struggle when installing

thanks

Hi, looking at this cooler

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-028-CM

it says it fits all them sockets, does it mean it will have different fittings for the 775, 1156 and the rest?

Im going to be getting a Freezer to hopefully carry over to i5

not really a fan of arctic cooling but might have to give it a try

does anyone know if the h50 will work with socket 1156?

its priced quite good, similar to a high end air cooler
