    Indeed, Intel at least made sure coolers from the previous LGA 1156 socket processors are compatible with the new breed of Sandy Bridge motherboards and CPUs.

    I'm starting off trying the one that comes with a retail Sandybridge processor.
    If that doesn't give decent temps with it overclocked I'll think pick up a 1156 HSF and some Artic Silver thermal paste (which I would use with the retail HSF but can't seem to find my tube of it since I moved my PC "Spares" to my girlfriends flat).

    im just glad there compatible with each other so i can use a nice cooler like the corsair 70 or something and try to get 4.8ghz out of the 2600k :)

    Good suggestion. i've put H50 on mines now, but wondering if I should have picked the H70. Just worried it would have been too much in the Corsair 600T case. But anything that fits 1156 socket should fit 1155 without problem.

    Thats good for enthusiasts to know, as means they can use tried and tested LGA1156 coolers without worrying whether its up to the job or not! :)

    I must admit I was wondering last night about it as I was looking at water CPU coolers and how long it would be until we started seeing LGA1155 versions arrive.

    Kind of explains why I didn't see any now. :haha:
