Is there a way i can attach a AIO that only supports intel 1700 sockets to my 1200 socket motherboard

[barnabls]

I want to get a new corsair AIO (NAUTILUS 240 RS ARGB Liquid CPU Cooler) but the one i want says it only supports intel 1700 sockets and more recent ones, i also saw that corsair sells retention kits that work for the 1200 socket but they dont mention the AIO that i want, would any retention kit ment for the 1200 socket work on the AIO? if not is there any 1700 to 1200 adaptor?

Pump/heatspreader designs aren't universal, so to my knowledge there are no "universal fit" brackets.

I don't believe so. LGA1700 is "taller" than LGA 1200, so even if the holes line up you'll have too much of a gap between the CPU and the contact side of the cooler.

 

What are the rest of your system specs (case, cooler, motherboard, CPU, etc)? Is your current cooler inadequate for your processor?

Oh well then, i guess ill either pick a different IAO that fits both older and newer sockets or just wait untill i get a newer cpu.
My current cooler is good enough for my current cpu but im planning to upgrade my pc in stages and id rather get the cooler now even though i dont really need it yet
