Hey, just wondering if anyone can recommend any cpu coolers for socket 1366 i7 cpus. They seem to be a little thin on the ground on the OC site. Planning on getting the Thermalright True Black 120 but not sure if it'll fit. There's a Bolt thru kit for 1366 here: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-058-TR&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=1400

Is the true black part of the ultra series? Or would it be a better idea to try a cooler that doesnt require extra mounting like the Coolermaster V8?
 
I would also suggest the noctua.

So many good things to be said about it.

Yes it looks hideous if you dont like "hearing aid beige" but it performs so well its untrue
 
Aye the noctua is a great beast.. although the fan retaining brackets are a pain in the arse.. unless I'm doing it wrong, but ended up cutting me finger open, only realised when there was blood on some of the manuals ;)

Saying that though, my 920 at stock was running at 20-24 degrees (was at 1 in the morning with no heating etc), so would highly recommend and is quiet to boot, £50 odd well spent imho.

Another vote for the Noctua. Currently running 4ghz at 70 degrees using one. It is large so you might want to check it will fit in your case.
