Solution

There are H55 LGA1155 boards out there though: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007SSG7J0/?tag=pcpapi-20

But best to get h61 to avoid any possibility of buying the wrong socket

Agreed. Even if one were to overclock a high end HSF priced around $45 will outperform those water coolers as well as being quieter. Examples are the Scythe Mugen 5 and Thermalright Macho Direct.

If so its true,then h55 stands for 1156 and h61 for 1155.

To answer your question OP, either chipset will be fine so just get the cheapest board that isn't biostar or foxconn

So no he must choose the h61.
