1155 cooler recommendation

[Valnar]

I'm still sporting my C2D E8400 and haven't shopped for coolers in awhile. (See Sig).

My next build is an Ivy Bridge on a mATX board - probably a relatively small case too. i5 Ivy processor of some variety.

Quiet is more important that cooling. Something sturdy that allows the PC to be moved around is next.

What's the recommendation?

Being mITX I imagine you don't want anything huge? Cooler Master 212 EVO is the best bet but it's big.

+1 for the 212 EVO, depending on how small the case is going to be, though you can still get a small case and fit the 212 as long as its wide.
