CentOS 6.9 has support for the Haswell processor which is a subset of the Skylake.
All Skylake server ancillary components work perfectly with CentOS 6.9.
Note that there can be issues. My desktop is:
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1225 v5 @ 3.30GHz

For a server, USB probably isn't an issue, but this seemed worth noting.
