Thermaltake DuoOrb on socket 1155

Published on January 5, 2012 By Neilo In Personal Computing

Hey all, i have my DuoOrb currently on my lga775 core 2 quad but im upgrading to a core i5 in a 1155 socket. It occurs to me that my DuoOrb will not be of any use.
Does anyone know of adapter plates or anything of the like that will allow it to fit? perhaps the 1155 mobo's simply do not allow its size...

If this is a lost cause, anyone have any good cooling suggestions for socket 1155. I really liked the twin fan side by side design of the DuoOrb,

It will be a shame to see it relegated to the wifes pc. [e digicons]:'([/e]

shame you're not getting 1136 socket, cause this cpu cooler is very nice, it's cheap and it works great my cpu temps never reach over 50ºC which is nice. I'm using the i7-960 model. I should note the highest i've seen is 42ºC
