Sandy Bridge and Cooler compatibility

[King Damager]

Fairly basic question really, if I buy a CPU cooler in the next month (before SB comes out) will it be compatible with whatever SB Cpu/MoBo I may choose to get? Or will I have to wait for some adjustments to the coolers so they're all compatible?

Its unlikely however, most manufacturers of High end coolers tend to sell mounting brackets for new platforms seperately.

Seeing as it's only a single pin different one would expect current 1156 coolers to fit 1155 boards.


***Edit*** Just had a look at some P67 previews and the spacing looks identical to me.
