With the LGA 1700 mounting kit, the Freezer 50 is compatible with Intel's new Alder lake processors. Even if the socket and heat-spreader are larger compared to the predecessor, the CPU surface has been reduced and remains centered. The Freezer 50 Direct Touch Heatpipes completely covers this area. ARCTIC will provide the required mounting kit free of charge to customers who submit proof of purchase of a processor with an LGA 1700 socket.
