Find the contact frame for LGA 1700 with cooling adapter (conversion from LGA 1200).
Henlo, I'm checking if switching your Thermalright Macho B from LGA 1200 to LGA 1700 will cause any compatibility issues with the cooling kit you plan to use. The mounting adapter for LGA 1700 is designed to address pressure and spacing concerns, so it should work well. No prior attempts reported major problems, but I’d recommend confirming with the manufacturer or a forum member before finalizing.
It won't affect anything. It fits perfectly near the socket, keeping a safe distance from the cooler's mounting holes. Almost identical to the original dimensions. Cooler mounting force relies mainly on the kit used. If it supports LGA1700, it should function well.
