How to use old (or new) CPU coolers on LGA 1700 - NZXT, Corsair and Noctua
1,100If you've got an all-in-one cooler or air tower cooler for your PC and you're upgrading your system to the 12th Gen Intel setup with LGA 1700 socket, then your equipment might not fit as standard. Not to worry because there are kits you can buy or get for free that you can use to adapt your old coolers to fit.
This also applies if you've bought a new cooler but it doesn't have the right equipment in the box!

Customers can order the kit from CORSAIR for just $2.99/€2.99/£1.99 and receive free shipping anywhere in the United States or Europe.
