It seems that there is also only 4 different air coolers available for the new 1150 socket. Is that correct, or will older socket coolers work with it?

Hi. Most will fot multiple sockets. A cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO will do nicely.

The Evo does not work on 1150 board Asus Sabertooth Z97 Mark 2. Causes unstable CPU. Seems the base of Evo is too large for socket. Causes too much pressure.

At least with the board I tested.

Just another aspect to consider: allowable space for DIMMS. The Noctua DH-14, for example, will NOT provide enough clearance if you happen to have Corsair Dominator Platinum type RAM. If you do have your heart set on a Noctua CPU fan cooler, be sure to check out their website where they list the RAM-types compatible with this specific cooler.
