Arctic Announces LGA1700 Mounting Kits for Intel Core "Alder Lake"

[btarunr]

The market launch of the Intel Alder Lake series is expected soon. Along with the new CPUs, Intel is also introducing the new LGA1700- socket with changed hole spacing on the motherboard as well as changes in CPU cooler mounting height. Starting in mid-October, ARCTIC will provide mounting kits for all Freezer 34 models, the entire Liquid Freezer II series, the Freezer 50 as well as Freezer i13 X and Freezer i13 X CO. Replacing the mounting parts will enable our customers to use their ARCTIC coolers with the new Intel processors. In the future, most of the current CPU coolers will be delivered with the mounting set for the Intel 1700 socket.

The mounting sets will be available in the ARCTIC web shop for a service fee of 5,99€, and customers will receive the set completely free of charge upon presentation of a corresponding processor purchase receipt. ARCTIC will soon launch a new CPU air cooler with Alder Lake compatibility from the factory - the i35 A-RGB. The launch of the new Intel cooler with addressable RGB is expected at the end of October.

Noctua soon to follow I expect. Arctic + Noctua = safe bets = noted

Y.E.S.......

Now if all the cooler mfgr's would just get with the program, they would probably scoop up some goodwill from current customers as well as gaining some new ones too

An update, for everyone like myself, trying to arrange a mount and only finding news report copy pastes of this exact kind of information.
Could not find any application for a kit or anything for sale. Contacted Arctic asking for an update.
(Freezer 2 420, should apply to all models)

Seems kits aren't ready yet so you can't apply or purchase one yet.

Thank you for messaging me. Unfortunately, we aren’t ready yet to send the Kits out, but the shipping will start on Monday 1.11.2021. Sorry for the inconvenience! There will be a landing-page for ordering the Kits or upload an invoice to get them free of charge. The page will be online on Monday 01.11.2021 under https://www.arctic.de/en/support/lga1700-mounting-kits/ Thank you for your patience!
