Are Cooling Solutions Designed for LGA1700 Compatible with LGA1851 Socket?
This article aims to provide clarity on the mechanical compatibility between LGA1700 and LGA1851 in regards to thermal solutions.
The mounting holes for LGA1700 and LGA1851 sockets are positioned in the same locations, so that the backplates used for LGA1700 coolers will align correctly with the LGA1851 socket. This means that the LGA1700 socket remains mechanically compatible with the LGA1851 (for thermal solution only), and that existing thermal solutions designed for LGA1700 can fit on LGA1851 without modification. It's important to note that while the mounting mechanism is compatible, users should always consult with their thermal solution provider directly for thermal and power compatibility, to consider the appropriate heat source coverage.
