So im here again to ask the masterminds :) i bought this "ARCTIC COOLING FREEZER 13 CO CPU COOLER 92MM" for my new i7 6700k and i noticed that while the official site states that its compatible with 1151 socket , the box (of the cooler) doesnt have 1151 as an option on compability, the only options there are "intel sockets : 1150 1156 1155 1366 775" , should i consider changing to another cooler?
 
Solution
Try it first, they may not have changed print on the box.
Skylake Processors use the same mounting specifications as older LGA115X heatsinks. In other words, heatsinks that work with LGA 1150, 1155, and 1156 will work with Skylake.
