I'm looking at buying a Corsair Elite Capellix Cooler for my i7 12700K build but they are still out of stock on the Corsair website, seems a bit surprising ? Surely they're losing money as I'll have to look at other coolers.

It seems as though I need a bracket which has to be bought through Corsair's website, to fit this to the Z690 Motherboard for Alderlake CPUs, last time I checked, around two months ago, it was out of stock, and it still is today. So I'll have to look at other CPU coolers, I do like the look of the Corsair and would like it in white, so anything which is actually compatible out of the box, or available with in stock brackets etc. would be fine

Is price the reason you're not buying from OCUK?, it shows in stock.
Yes the cooler is in stock, but to fit it to a 1700 Motherboard you have to buy a 1700 bracket from Corsair, and on Corsair's website they have been out of stock for months. I just find it a bit surprising, considering how many people are building new Alderlake builds, and probably want to buy a Corsair AIO, yet can't because Corsair don't have the 1700 retrofit bracket in stock - therefore must be losing a lot of business!

No you don't.
Check the link you posted again, on the left.
Ahhhh ok, thanks - didn't see that. Is that all I need though?
On Corsair's website it says This kit does not come with the brackets or backplate necessary for LGA1200/115x/1700 installation.

You use the backplate that comes with the cooler.
