The height and dimensions of the 12th Gen CPU are different from the 11th Gen.ROG RYUGIN 360: Tested with standard Asetek LGA1700 kit.Corsair H150i PRO’s: Corsair’s adjustable LGA115x/1200 kit can fit the LGA1700 socket, however, it’s not well contacted.The cooler shows a large contact gap in the middle where the die rests and would lead to poor thermal performance and possibly trap heat between the IHS and the cooler baseplate, leading to higher temperatures. The worst contender is the ASUS ROG RYUJIN 360 which was tested with a standard ASETEK LGA 1700 kit.

Moving on to AORUS Waterforce X360 which comes with the LGA 1700 mounting bracket, we can see slightly worse contact than H150i PRO where the middle of the IHS receives little contact with the CPU IHS.
