Intel LGA1700 Upgrade Kit - for Liquid Freezer II Series

Works Well

I recently acquired the ARCTIC Intel LGA1700 Upgrade Kit, and it has certainly enhanced my cooling experience. However, I must express my disappointment in the fact that I had to purchase this kit separately. The manufacturer should have included it with the Liquid Freezer II Series liquid cooler that I previously bought. Setting aside that grievance, the upgrade kit itself is commendable. It provides the necessary components to adapt the Liquid Freezer II cooler for compatibility with the Intel LGA1700 socket. The installation process was straightforward, and the kit contained all the required screws and brackets. Once installed, the cooling performance was significantly improved. My processor now maintains optimal temperatures even during intensive tasks, ensuring smooth and efficient operation. The ARCTIC Intel LGA1700 Upgrade Kit truly completes the liquid cooler setup, allowing me to maximize the potential of my system. While I wish the manufacturer had included this kit initially, I am still satisfied with its performance and the enhanced cooling it provides. If you find yourself in a similar situation, needing compatibility with the LGA1700 socket, the ARCTIC Intel LGA1700 Upgrade Kit is worth considering for a seamless cooling solution.

This product suited my needs and served me well. I've had no issues with it over the years and the materials all seemed to be of quality.

I own an Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360 Rev 2 since 2020 before Arctic included the LGA1700 mounting kit, the cooler performance is solid compared to newer AIO liquid coolers with a stepper price. I decided to keep it and buy this LGA1700 upgrade kit and I wasn't disappointed, the cooling performance is great! I'm taking a star out because the company already has a process to request this upgrade kit from their website when you provide proof of purchase of an LGA1700 process/platform but this process is taking forever that's why I ordered it!

I have a test bench with a Liquid Freezer II 360 AIO and needed something for LGA 1700 so I'm glad I didn't have to buy a new cooler and can continue to use the same one for another generation or two. Thanks Arctic, for making sure your product doesn't end up as e-waste and making a cooler that can even keep up with a 13700K

This ARCTIC Intel LGA1700 Upgrade Kit - for Liquid Freezer II Series fits perfectly and works great. Some kits to come with the LGA1700 back plate so sometimes you may think it doesn't come with the AIO cooler and they do, but this one is made real well and stronger. Recommend it.

Don't bother ordering this kit. I tried contacting Arctic about it, but it's been about a week and no reply through their ticket system. The problem is that the backplate doesn't sit flush with the back of the motherboard because it's improperly machined/pressed, so the backplate presses on the back of the CPU load plate, causing a 2-3mm gap between the standoff nut and the back of the motherboard, which will in turn cause improper pressure distributed on the cooler. Not sure what this kit is for. Doesn't seem to work for anyone who wants to properly mount their AIO. Not sure why Arctic is still selling this on their site and on Amazon. All the Youtube vids and Reddit posts you see of people installing Arctic AIOs all have the updated flat backplate (it's the old LGA1200 backplate) with the LGA1700 hexagon cut out. I've yet to find a video/post of someone properly installing their AIO with this bulky "LGA1700 kit" lol. The solution to this is 1 of 3 things: 1. Hopefully the AIO you ordered comes with the updated flat backplate, with the LGA1200 and LGA1700 hexagon cut out 2. Contact Arctic and have them send you the updated flat backplate 3. If you don't want to do either of the above options and your motherboard has the LGA1200 holes, use the LGA1200 backplate. The LGA1200 and LGA1700 standoff bolts are the same length/size

Techno Geek provided great feedback and support when I purchased an Arctic Liquid Freezer II without this mounting kit. I highly recommend purchasing from them. The product works as advertised.

Arctic products are decent. This also is quite good. Perfectly fits your Arctic AIO liquid coolers to the LGA1700 socket on the motherboard. The installation process is a little typical. Sometimes a little challenging depending on the motherboard. But finally it fits perfectly. This kit is ideally supposed to come bundled with any Arctic AIO liquid coolers these days especially after the availability of 12th Gen Intel processors. But my unit of 280mm RGB Arctic water cooler didn't come with a compatible mounting kit. So I had to order this kit separately. Although Arctic or its resellers are supposed to send anyone owning an Arctic cooler an upgrade mounting kit for LGA1700 socket free of cost, but I didn't choose that way because of lack of time. Any in case, if you have sufficient time, you can definitely try contacting the seller or Arctic for a free upgrade kit.

this is flat plate original upgrade being sold. but the one that came with the 280 unit, which on the side of box also said contained an upgraded LGA 1700 kit.. included as well .. had its own bag.. had a scissor style back plate.. so i take it there may be issues on some boards and the flat plate upgrade.. i did read about that in some of the comments on this product.. for my set up this works.. Asus hero board..

Was used to adapt an Arctic freezer II 240 to a i9-12900K in a Asus Tuf Gaming Z690-plus wifi motherboard. The fit is good.

Mounting pressure is still an issue even with this kit. A flat cold plate paired with poor mounting pressure means hot Alder Lake.
