It's from an XPS 630i which was ATX LGA775 but if the feet are reversed in their slots it should fit Socket 1136 also. The manufacturer is AVC and they rate their 3 heatpipe version for 130W, so this 4 pipe cooler should be more than that. Here's a photo of a Dell cooler with built in fan. Look for similar models with the fastest CPUs they often change coolers to match the CPU ordered. There may be a bigger Dell cooler that fits. Dell commonly uses 6-32 bolts, aftermarket are metric. Look at the screws in your OEM cooler and see if you can match them with your new one. Or even use screws instead of bolts in their coolers. The bigger fan just cools it down sooner, and quieter, the original fan got noisy at 50% I have a pile of aftermarket heatpipe coolers I never needed. with a $12 surplus Dell Pentium D cooler, and a bigger fan. I just mention this because I'm running a 1st generation Core 2 Quad overclocked to 3.72GHz. You didn't say you had a cooling problem.
I've had exactly the opposite experience. I would not assume that Dell cooling is bad. A- They're hellacious fans,and B- Dell BIOS will throw a fan failure error if the fan current is "out of range" during POST. I recommend using the Dell fan if possible. Frozen CPU sold an adapter cable for this, there may be others (DON'T USE FROZEN CPU they self destructed last year.) This actually saves people from putting the 1.6A fan on a normal ATX MB which will usually destroy it. The 5th pin is empty, or has a jumper from ground to it. Next the 5 pin connector is for 4 wire fan. The bolt pattern for the cooler may or may not follow the standards for the socket you have so check that first. I'm more familiar with Dell BTX so I can't say what you'll find but Dell fans usually are from 1.3A to 1.6A power, and usually run at around 30% pwm under heavy loads. Any way take a look at your original Dell PWM fan. That doesn't look like an MT motherboard with only 2 expansion slots.
