Cooling Skylake

[Flake87]

Sorry for a post requiring a best guess, but now engineering samples of the Skylake chip, and the motherboards are around, will the existing coolers fit? Some people are claiming it's a standard fit but others are not.

Can anyone clear up the confusion?

Same fittings used as 1155/56/50 etc.

As above, same mounting holes on the boards. The difference with skylake is the pin layout on the boards socket in which the cpu sits.
