Core i5 750 Retail Package Unboxed

the question is obvious there, are 1156 coolers and 1366 coolers compatible?

Personally i dont know. didnt pay that much attention to the leaked motherboard pictures.

No. LGA 1156 is right in the middle of S775 and S1366 holes. So those coolers that are compatible with S775 and S1366 can be also compatible with S1156, like the new Tuniq: http://www.techpowerup.com/img/09-08-05/27c.jpg

See how the mounting holes can slide. Assuming backplate is identical, then it works with rest of similar coolers on 1156.
 
Wonderful, a half-height cooler for this processor.
 
AMD and Intel really should think about expanding their OEM cooler lineup to something a little better. Just a thought.
