Looking for socket 1155 CPU cooler recommendations

New build. Going to be running the i5-2500K.

No water, air only please.

Thank you!

Thermalright Silver Arrow?

At least give us a price range so we can recommend for you.

Here is a good budget HS/fan:

Price wise? $50-$80.

Best bang for the $ I suppose.

Will a socket 1156 cooler fit a socket 1155?

Or this one as the previous guy posted:

Or you can consider taking the Thermalright HR-02 Macho.

Will a socket 1156 cooler fit a socket 1155?

They use the same hole layout so yes,the cooler will fit fine.

i have two hyper 212+ coolers on on a i5-750 and the other on my i5-2500k (@ 4.3Ghz) they are cheap as **** (i got my 212+ coolers at fry's for $20ea) they work good. If I'm honest the stock fans are not bad..but they are a bit louder than I like I swapped the fans for gelid silent 12 fans for $10 ea so for $30 i have a near silent excellent performance cooling solution.


there is a new 212 evo that might be worth looking at..

+1 on the Hyper 212+ especially if you can catch it on sale
