Q: What socket is this. LGA 1200 or LGA 1700? Very confusing by the listing, Best Buy pls fix it so I can give you my money!

A: LGA 1700

Q: This listing is a bit confusing, the picture, model, and specifications indicate that this is a z690 chip set with the lga1700 socket but, the title says it's the z590 lga 1200. which is it?

A: I was wondering the same thing. If you zoom in it says Z690 underneath the pci-e slot.
