Intel this year was able to surprise fans with itsproducts not only with a new chipset and processors, but also with a new socket. On the one hand, LGA1700 has a number of advantages: processors have more cores - for a minute, the top-end i9 12900KF has as many as 16 of them - much more power and computing capabilities, but on the other hand, it also brought a number of difficulties. First of all, this concerns the impossibility of using old motherboards.

The second expected problem was the need fornew fasteners for CBO and coolers for processors. ASUS partially solved this problem with the help of additional holes on new generation motherboards for attaching CBOs for LGA1200, but not every CBO will fit through a different processor profile, so the compatibility of each model needs to be checked on the manufacturer's website.

And finally.The new processors turned out to be serious hotties, which is not surprising given their power, so the requirements for the rest of the assembly components on Intel increased even more, even with a moderate version of the i5 12600KF.
