AMD: *Used the same exact mounting holes from 2006 until 2017, if your cooler uses stock mounting bracket you can literally use cooler made for first x86_64 CPUs on the market on the newest 16-core beast, marking it 20 years of compatibilty*
Intel: *We change mounting holes ever-so-slighly every 4 to 6 years, screw you*
Guess who just found that LGA1200 and LGA1700 has different mounting holes and who (likely) doesn't have an LGA1700 backplate for their cooler.
Went trough everything and if it won't be in the box stashed in the basement I will either have to design and 3D-print a new backplate, or email manufacturer and ask if they would send me a replacement (which would mean that I wouldn't get this system up-and-running this week either way).
So, excuse me while I: *cough*
INTEEEEEEEL
*cough*, thank you for your attention and have a nice day
