Default Best 1156 CPU Cooler - $50 or less?
Just curious what people are using. Are you using the bolt-on kits? Or are there any specific ones?

I have a Xigmatec Dark Knight laying around (775)... wonder if that would do any good with a bolt-on kit.

Although you won't see too much of an improvement from the Xiggy.

Seeing as I already have the spare Dark Knight, I'll be picking up that bolt on kit.

Thanks guys!
