My top 3:

1. Phanteks PH-TC14PE..... best cooling, great aesthetics 5 year warranty
2. Thermalright Silver Arrow .. ..... hair less cooling, better acoustics, decent aesthetics 2 year warranty
3. Noctua DH-14 ..... very good cooling, fugly aesthetics, 1 year warranty

Yes, 1150 mounting is the exact same as 115x(1155 and 1156), also I +1 his list, specifically the nh-d14 the stock fans are pretty amazing(quiet).
