Many assumed that LGA1700-compatible coolers would also work with the LGA1851 socket, despite having a slightly different Z-height. Previous reports about the LGA-1851 socket hinted at this, but now we have some kind of confirmation thanks to Noctua. According to Akiba-PC (via VideoCardz), Noctua has verified that their LGA-1700 mounting …

The LGA-1851 socket, as the name implies, has a different pin arrangement than the previous LGA-1700 socket used by Alder and Raptor Lake processors. However, recently leaked blueprints suggest that the two sockets are sized equally, meaning that CPU coolers for 12th and 13th Gen Core CPUs should be able …

A recent report suggested Intel would use a 2551-pin socket for desktop Meteor Lake and Arrow Lake, but a new rumour now says otherwise. Instead, this 2551-pin socket will reportedly be adopted by laptops, and desktop chips are to utilise a new LGA1851 socket. The rumour comes from Benchlife, which …
