I guess you can see the futility of asking peoples opinions here about anything. Ask for one and you get a steady stream of opinions. lol

I'd doublecheck that, because as far as I know, the H50 isn't compatible witch socket 1155.

You are correct. Good catch. Specs were 1156, not 1155.

If it fits an 1156, it will fit an 1155...same measurements between mounting points.

I have an H70 fitted to mine, with a H50 fitted to my sons i5.
