Advice for a good cooler for i7 860

[fatBrain]

Just bought i7 860 and an Asus board yesterday. However, I read the reviews on various websites that i860 runs pretty hot with stock cooler. Can anyone recommend a good cooler not too big? Thanks.

no,seriously, am I that far behind in my reading or was this a simple typo? I'm still in 775 mode as I have not yet a good reason (or spare coin) to upgrade. I have built a new case/ nightstand to improve my water loops but other than that I have all the "processing power" I can use.

He means i7 860

Yeah. I meant i7 860. But it is so funny that there was indeed i860 before.

But yeah any popular tower cooler would work well. Xigmatek S1283, Sunbeam CCF, OCZ Vend2, TRUE, Megahalems, etc. I'd personally stay away from the mega because it's pretty damn big and can make it a huge pain to install and is about on par with the TRUE last I looked

My i7 860 runs
idle 38c
load 62c
Im using the stock cooler until i can find a place that has the Thermalright True 1156 bolt thru kit in stock

A degree of reference would be nice. Thank you

Does anyone know of any non-stock LGA1156 coolers currently available? I couldn't find any on newegg.

Im not sure if these temps are normal. Hoping someone could tell me if those temps are withing specs. op said he heard the temps run high but what is high?

OP please include your ambient temps

Currently my room is 74*c with 40% humidity

Thank you, BTRY.

Look like it is ok to use stock cooler if not overclock. Wish coolers from Thermalright could come out sooner.
