Which sockets does the Gelid Solutions Black Edition support?

I'm upgrading to a Skylake system from a LGA1150 system and I need a better cooler than my stock cooler.  I checked on PCPartPicker and it said the Gelid Black Edition was compatible with the Core i5-6600K which I believe is LGA1151, but the website and Newegg do not say anything about LGA1151.  Please help me before I waste $78 on a cooler.

All LGA 115[x] sockets are identical for cooler mounting. If a cooler is compatible with one, it's compatible with all of them.

The LGA115x sockets all use the same mounting system. The product page just hasn't been updated (or the manual and documentation for that matter) since Skylake was released.

Did you even try looking at manufacturers own product page?
