LGA 1700 and bending?
Also my computer is not functioning at all and my imac from 2013 is SLOW and making me ragey so I decided to upgrade now and use my current working 1080 and wait for 4000 series. I do regret not going with the 5950X a little but idk I already opened the box. I would be buying it there so maybe MIcroCenter could give me store credit.
I completed my study on these components in depth but who would bother to look at user feedback on the Socket Retention Mechanism? Intel, you better pull together your multi-billion dollar plans. Edit: Also, if it's not just a few manufacturers but many, why isn<|pad|>?Why don't Intel get more upset when makers don’t adhere to their designs that I’d expect them to test, test and retest?
I didn't install it because the CPU cooler I had wasn't compatible. The salesperson at Microcenter mentioned the NH-D15 isn't suitable for the 12900K, so I need a high-end AIO. I already own an old Corsair AIO and an NH-D15, which means I thought the D-15 wouldn't work with a 12900K with Multicore Enhancement (only OC is needed). I'm planning to wait until I find a compatible AIO.
You received the CPU already. The 1700 brackets seem to raise everything by about an inch. You're considering ordering M4 washers, but no reviewers share a link for them. One person mentioned confusion over washer sizes, which seems to be a common issue. It's surprising that no one provides a source for these parts, as it would be logical to include a link if they were reliable.
Did you decide to keep it. I think ppl are using 1mm M4 washers to raise the retention bracket - but, I don't know if the 1700 mounts will do this. The other question is all these cooler manufacturers provide a 1700 bracket - but is it sufficient to solve the problem? The washers solve it - as we can see in the videos and the tests people do. Just because one reviewer saw 'no change' - doesn't mean it didn't help. There's a difference between a one-time test and over time, stressing the cpu. Also, you would have to trust the cooler manufacturer - for them to know about this problem and design the 1700 mount bracket to do the same mechanics as the washers?
