I'm not very tolerant of noisy computers and the fan on the stock heatsink is giving off a very high pitched unpleasant noise. I am wondering what heatsink would give me near silent operation without costing a lot? I tried looking at newegg but only found 2 heatsinks listed as platform 1155? Unless I did my search wrong which is possible. This cpu will be very lightly stressed and not overclocked (don't even think it can be overclocked). I ran prime95 today with 0 case fans running and the cpu never broke 62c under full load with the stock heatsink/fan. I'm just hoping for a cheap solution that doesn't drive me insane with a high pitched whine. The quieter and cheaper the better. Thanks.
 
Any heatsink with socket 1156 mounting kit will fit on socket 1155.

I'd recommend CM Hyper 212 Plus or TRUE Rev. C/Venomous X with a silent fan.
