Cooler for Socket 1156 I5...

[Ryoohki]

I'am searching for a cooler for the Socket 1156 (I5, I7). I saw that Thermalright have the Mux-120 but it seem MIA on every single store site. Any other suggestion? It's not for hardcore overclocking but for HTPC in a NZXT Rogue Case... (witch is plenty high enougt)

I ordered one of these beasts for my i5 build.

NCIX.com - Buy Noctua NH-U12P SE2 LGA775/1156/1366 AM2/AM3 I7/I5/PHENOM Heatpipe Cooler W/ 2XNH-P12 120MM Fans - NH-U12P SE2 In Canada.

This one is serving me quite well for my 'hotter' 1366 i7 and its a lot cheaper too:

NCIX.com - Buy Coolermaster Hyper 212 Plus Direct Touch 4 Heatpipe Heatsink AM2 AM3 LGA1366 LGA775 LGA1156 120MM - RR-B10-212P-GP In Canada.

Currently have i7 920 C0/C1 OC'ed to 3.8GHz with ambient temp of 25C.
Idle temps 45-50C
Load Temps 70-75C

Would run you even cooler at stock and OC since my understanding is the i5s run cooler then the i7 1366s
