Is there a way to test an AIO which isn't compatible with my CPU?

[RevGAM]

I accidentally bought the Raidmax Tornado ARGB 360 AIO. There is no way (short of some sort of very sketchy attempt) to mount it on my LGA1700 that I'm aware of.

Would it be better to just return it or is there a solution so that I can test it fully to compare it against other AIOs?

If Raidmax support can't send you a 1700 bracket, just return it.

my 1700 motherboard also have holes from 1200

Well, you could test it to see if it works by just plugging it into a header and turning the board on for a few seconds - but without the proper amount of mounting pressure provided by the correct bracket, you wouldn't be able to compare its performance against other AIOs. 

Returning it would be your best course of action.

I already made sure everything turns on. That's easy. I agree that I need the correct bracket, so I've followed @Needfuldoer's suggestion and sent them a message. Whether they'll answer is anyone's guess.
