• This version isnt explicitly compatible with the lga1700 socket type because it lacks a specific newer retaining bracket. HOWEVER!!! I was still able to install it on my girlfriends new gaming pc which uses an i5-12600k in a b660 chipset motherboard. I used the mounting hardware for the lga1200 socket type and, while i wouldnt say it felt the absolute sturdiest at first, it DID stay on and its making solid enough contact to keep her cpu under 60°C while playing games. I'd still recommend buying a cooler that has proper compatibility with the LGA1700 socket, but this cooler WILL work in a pinch.

• I don't believe this will fit with that specification. 12600k is a LGA 1700 and is not listed in the compatibility list: ncluding LGA2066, LGA2011-v3, LGA2011, LGA1151, LGA1150, LGA1155, LGA1156, LGA1366 Intel CPU sockets and AM4, AM3+, AM3, AM2+, AM2, FM2+, FM2, FM1 AMD CPU sockets
