Physically other than the number of pins on the socket itself, the mounting points for the CPU cooler are identical. a 1155/1156 cooler will work on a haswell 1150 board. I would also say the 100i is a great choice too as the new haswell chips have a tendency to run a little toasty, especially when overclocked. ;)

Good luck with your build :)
