Alpenfohn Glacier Mounting Kit for Intel LGA 1700

Alpenfohn Glacier Mounting Kit for Intel LGA 1700

This Alpenfohn mounting kit adds Intel LGA 1700 socket compatibility to the Alpenfohn Glacier CPU cooler, allowing an existing cooler to be carried over to a newer platform. It contains the brackets and fixings needed for a secure, correctly tensioned fit on LGA 1700 boards. A cost-effective alternative to replacing a perfectly good cooler during an upgrade.

Carry Your Cooler to LGA 1700

Intel's LGA 1700 socket changed both the mounting hole spacing and the processor height compared with earlier sockets, so previous-generation brackets do not fit. This kit supplies the correct hardware to mount the Alpenfohn Glacier on LGA 1700 boards with the proper contact pressure against the integrated heat spreader. That correct tension matters, since poor mounting pressure is a common cause of unexpectedly high temperatures after an upgrade.

Save Money on a Platform Upgrade

Reusing a capable cooler rather than buying a new one is a straightforward saving when moving to a new motherboard and processor. The kit includes the brackets and fixings required, so no improvised solutions or third-party adapters are needed. Installation follows the same process as the original mounting, making it a quick job during a rebuild.
