Hi Community
Just a quick question really.
I installed an Cooler Master TX3 this Saturday gone onto an Intel Haswell Quad Core i5 4460 3.2GHZ socket 1150 CPU but it got be thinking that in the future when I buy a Skylake system (so the MOBO, DDR4 RAM and i7 CPU) would the cooler work with Skylake?
The coolers website says its supports socket 1151 but this is a whole new CPU and I have seen articles of the Skylakes CPU's having a slightly weaker build so there have be cases of damaged coolers and CPU's when installing an after market cooler that applies a lot of pressure. Toms did an article about it a while ago.
Regards
