The new Intel Skylake processors have just released, but they don't come with a fan/heatsink. As a result, I have to purchase a third party heatsink, but it seems there are none yet listed on popular sites that support LGA1151.
I hear a lot of speculation that older LGA socket heatsinks are compatible with the new LGA 1151, but I would like some confirmation on this.
Are previous heatsinks compatible with the new LGA1151 socket?
Unless you are getting a k series, or OEM tray, it will come with a heatsink just like the old ones. – None – 2015-10-14T23:57:52.510
1Nope, I already purchased two (i5 and i7) and like I said, Intel decided not to provide heatsinks. They do not come with them. I already solved this though. I purchased a really nice Noctua CPU heatsink. Love it – Atomiklan – 2015-10-16T00:30:24.367
