EK Water Blocks, Ljubljana based premium water cooling gear    manufacturer, confirms that all of its current CPU water blocks fully   support the latest generation Intel® LGA-1151 (Socket H3) Core® i5/i7  series  processors  (codename Skylake) out-of-the-box.

Due to the same mounting holes pattern of the socket LGA-1151  (Socket H3) based  microprocessors, EK is pleased to confirm the  following products to  be  100% compatible with the Intel Core i5/i7 6000 series processors. There is no need to buy any additional parts:

- EK-Supremacy EVO (any variant except AMD C32/G34 and Elite - Intel 2011(-3) type)
- EK-Supremacy MX (any variant except AMD type)

Moreover, the following End-Of-Line (EOL) family CPU water blocks are also fully compatible with the brand new Socket LGA-1151 platform:

- EK-Supreme LTX (any revision, any variant)
- EK-Supreme LTX UNI (any revision, any variant; EK-L-series kit water block, not sold separately)
- EK-Supremacy (any variant except AMD C32/G34, Elite - Intel 2011(-3) and Elite - Intel 1366 type)

Consequently the following EK liquid cooling kits also officially fully support Intel Skylake platform:

- EK-KIT L (any revision; any variant)
- EK-KIT X (any variant)

Like always, EK is refining the Supremacy line of flagship performance  CPU water blocks even further in order to provide the best possible  cooling for this new 6th generation Intel® Core® i processors.

"EK-Supremacy EVO's unique modular design allows us to squeeze the best performance on every new CPU platform without performance penalties on other platforms", said Niko Tivadar, EK's Chief of R&D. "Thorough mechanical and thermal testing will be undertaken by EK in order find the best combination of Insert and Jet for Skylake platform."
