hi all, first post on these forums (long time lurker)

im upgrading from my 775 socketed core 2 quad to a 1155 with a i5 2500k. what i was hoping was that my trusty Thermaltake DuoOrb might...might, fit onto the 1155 socket. There seems to be alot of coolers on the market today that do fit both 775 and 1155, but i have no idea if that is with the use of some special adapter.

Any thoughts? I do want to keep my cooler so an solution using an adapter is fine, if it doesn't fit right on...but, if it's a lost cause, can anyone recommend a cooler?

cheers!

Zalman makes a new bracket & clip for the cooler I had that made it fit an 1155 socket, depending on how it connects a similar thing might be available for yours. Though I ended up getting a new cooler anyway because the old one was prone to getting clogged with dust easily, and was starting to turn green.

chilly that coolermaster does have the bracket to suit a 1155, (the review might be old)

nice upgrade first off,

also, have you tried emailing zalman?, and asking them

Yea that bracket looks like it will work but $23 for a bracket it just too much imo.

You could get something like a Hyper 212 for $39 and you know for sure everything will be fine.
