Intel Releases Statement on Bent Skylake CPUs

Intel has released an official statement about the bending Skylake processor issue that has come to light here recently. Intel isn’t saying much as they won’t comment on 3rd party CPU cooler designs and are standing by their recommendations for cooler designs.

The design specifications and guidelines for the 6^th Gen Intel Core processor using the LGA 1151 socket are unchanged from previous generations and are available for partners and 3^rd party manufacturers. Intel cant comment on 3^rd party designs or their adherence to the recommended design specifications. For questions about a specific cooling product we must defer to the manufacturer.
