It will likely be the same as heatsink manufactures would have to release new mounting hardware and people wouldn't be able to use they're old coolers which would piss off most not to mention 1356,1366,2011 and 1156,1155,1150 all have the same mounting holes for this reason.

It depends if skylake uses the same mounting holes.

You will never know until it is released...

Since Z97 will work for Broadwell (assumption) and has the same mounting holes because it is LGA 1150, there is hope!!!!!! My 212 EVO isn't enough for my overclock atm. Thanks everybody (:
