Intel LGA-1700

At CES 2021, Intel announced their new socket LGA-1700. The matching CPUs, which are expected to be available in 2021, will follow a new hybrid architecture and should be more powerful than previous generations through the use of high-performance and efficiency cores. This time, the new architecture also has a direct effect on the appearance, as it features an additional 500 contacts compared to its predecessor (which is why the number in the name has increased from 1200 to 1700), and as a result, the socket had to be greatly enlarged.

Thus, the heatspreader has a much larger surface than before, and above all no longer square, but rectangular. While this heralds a new era for Intel CPUs that promises even more performance, unfortunately no CPU coolers already available on the market are compatible with this change.

To remedy this, be quiet! will release mounting kits for for the new Intel CPU generation, with which many of the current coolers become compatible with the socket LGA-1700. It will be available in two colors: black and silver.

The following coolers are compatible with the mounting kit for the new Intel Socket LGA-1700

Dark Rock Pro 4
Dark Rock 4
Dark Rock Slim
Dark Rock TF 2
Shadow Rock Slim 2
Shadow Rock LP
Pure Rock 2

Pure Loop

Complete compatibility with every socket LGA-1700 motherboard cannot be guaranteed.
