Socket 771 cooler compatibility and advice

[gigerkatt]

Hello!

I'm building a nice little system with dual Intel Xeon 5160 3.0ghz and I'm wondering about what kind of cooler I should use. Are socked 771 compatible with 775 coolers? I havent really found any dedicated 771 coolers thus far. I was hoping I could use 2x Zalmans perhaps. Low noise is appriciated and I wont be overclocking.

Here are the specs:

Motherboard: Intel s5000xvn
Processors: 2xIntel Xeon 5260
RAM: 2x Kingston ValueRAM minne 1 GB FB-DIMM - DDR II
HDD: WD Raptor 10.000 rpm 150gb
Chassis: Silverstone TJ07B Black
PSU: Cooltek 600W Modular ATX 2.2

GPU will be decided on later.

Thank you for any answer.

Xeons come with Intel-specific HSFs.
