Does anyone know definitively whether the new Skylake socket LGA-1151 will take a heat sink fan designed for the older LGA-1150 Haswell socket?
The 1151 socket is mentioned in almost none of the ad copy for coolers. I'm wondering if it's a case of none of the ad copy having been updated to include this new socket, or the HSF for Skylake is indeed different....
Keep in mind I'm looking at a 6th generation i3 CPU, and with something like only 51 watts TDP, the stock cooler would likely be quite adequate, save for the typical whine the high revving Intel stockers give off.
Any thoughts guys?
