i7-6700k Waterblocks?

Ok, So I currently have a custom watercooled machine, and just because I want to be on the bleeding edge, I will be upgrading to a i7-6700k. But i have a problem. I am not sure about a waterblock for the new CPU. Do we know how long it will be before Bitspower releases a block for it? Or am I overlooking this and will my current block work? (currently I am cooling a 4790k with the Bitspower Summit EF block) 

 

Just a few things i need to clarify before finishing my order :)

Collecting every single CPU in existence? Is it possible? I have no idea, but i'm sure gonna try! http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/341848-dont-throw-away-old-cpus-im-collecting/

As far as i know, any current block and CPU cooler will fit on the new socket.

any block that works on LGA 1150/1155/1156 will work one it.

 

your old one should work

 

LGA 1155/1150 blocks should be compatible.

 

Even with the new LGA 1151 socket? if so, thats awsome, and will make things a TON easier :)

The socket pinout may be different but the cooler hole spacing should still be the same. It didn't change from 1155 to 1150.

The mount is the same as it's been all along with LGA115x. TDP is just a bit higher (from 88W to 95W) so it probably won't run much hotter either. I'd say you should just keep the old block and the rest of the loop too.
