Following the much-anticipated launch of Intel’s i7-6700K Skylake chipset, Entatech has boosted its attachment opportunities for resellers.
Skylake CPU’s will run at a higher wattage and will require more voltage than the Haswell chip, released in 2013, requiring a higher performance cooling solution than previous generations. With this in mind, the cooler bracket configuration is identical to the previous Haswell chip, meaning that compatible CPUs from Entatech vendors including Coolermaster and Corsair are Skylake-ready, straight out of the box.
In a bid to aid resellers as to the Skylake-ready products within their portfolio, Entatech has invested time into product associations on its e-commerce website, Entaonline.com, to educate resellers as to the compatible cooler, motherboard and memory solutions through a Skylake Compatible icon.
There will also be a microsite dedicated to all Skylake products, giving full specifications of the 50+ products available from Entatech.
“Here at Entatech we understand that compatibility can be a minefield and sometimes getting the correct information at the correct time can be the difference between a deal won and a deal lost,” said Brad Cronwell, Gaming & Peripherals Product Manager at Entatech.
“For this reason we have a dedicated account management team as well as a team of experienced product specialists on hand to provide the best possible support we can for all of our customers, no matter the size.”
