Hello, your recent purchase of the ASUS TUF Z690 Plus motherboard includes dual holes for cooler support. This indicates compatibility with both LGA 1200 and 1700 cooling brackets. The attached image confirms the details.

LGA 1700 differs from 1200 in height, which affects CPU contact quality.

The issue lies in my location, as there aren't many LGA 1700 compatible brackets available; most are LGA 1200.

You can find LGA 1700 brackets for noctua coolers on Amazon for around seven dollars.

Usually just assemble parts using small machine screws from a hardware store. Pack your cooler and try inserting them. If they don’t fit by thread, switch to a slightly thinner screw and push through the backplate and cooler. Use wingnuts to secure it on either side. Small nylon spacers and tiny washers will make installation smoother and more stable. I’ve mounted coolers on my CPU (1600) and GPUs (Vega 64 and 6600) for four years without issues when using solid overclocking. Be careful not to force too much pressure and keep the balance, but it functions well. This is just personal experience, not professional guidance.
