It looks like I am getting ready to retire some of my z97/socket 1150 stuff and move to z370/socket 1151 stuff.
It looks like my cooling hardware will cross right over and I can just slip the old motherboard, cpu and ram out and pop the new combos right in, will it?
I know, new os installs and all of that.
 
You May want to check some of your coolers. Depending on what you are using, the manufacturers have released shims for some of the mounting hardware to alter the pressure applied to the new chips. You do not necessarily need these but it means that you cannot fully tighten some of the older mounts.
