Hi all,
I'm getting ready to rebuild my rig around an i7-860. I had a fantastic experience with a Xigmatek S1283 for my Q9450. Cheaper than many alternatives, and great silent cooling with the included fan. I was excited to see a new mounting bracket allowing the S1283 to be used with Socket 1156.

Curious to see if anyone has tried using a Xigmatek heatsink for a Socket 1156 CPU yet. Any comments are valuable.
Thanks,
--Jonathan

I used an S1283 and the new ACK mounting kit for my i5-750 build earlier this month and it worked great. The back plate confused me a little at first but that was the only problem I encountered during installation. At the very least it's a nice alternative to the push-pin system the cooler comes with as standard.
