Did not see this answered, but will sandy bridge motherboards allow us to use the same CPU coolers like the current sockets for core2duo?

I have a Ninja as well, which I really like... I don't really want to hack something together though. I like it when stuff just works.

Anyone has any good pointers on a good cpu heat sink for P8P67 pro? I'd like to replace the stock cooling in my new machine...

I bought a Scythe Mugen 2 hoping it would fit, but it wasn't even close. The motherboard heat sinks on the motherboard are rather large and probably limits the cpu heat sinks that will fit by quite a lot :(

Disregard this. I just suck balls at putting together machines apparently. Managed to mount it just fine today. Have my 2500K running at 4ghz now and the system is reasonably silent. I'm quite pleased.
