Ek supreme Evo - lga1700 ?
- Thread starter cjgardens
- Start date
I have the same block on an X99 board too and looking to use it on an LGA1700 system.
I think we just need this backplate to make it compatible.

If you get it and let me know if it works
I hope that's the case. Will save a few quid. But I'm also thinking of going crazy with the lighting so I might just buy new.
There's only ever a few degrees between blocks. So if it does fit I'll save myself some dosh and use what I have
i am using it on z690 with 1700 bracket (https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ek-water-blocks-ek-quantum-velocity-backplate-lga1700-hs-00m-ek.html)
no issues
i used my block on 3770k, 5820k, 8700k, 10850k and now on 12700k
sometimes i wish it would have rgb but its fine :>

Some motherboards would allow previous gen mounting spacing, but I would suggest getting the 1700 kit, just to eliminate any chance of mounting pressure issues.
When I was searching about previous Intel gen blocks and 1700 socket, the description of the EK kit says, basically, to allow compatibility with 1700 socket, and lists the compatible blocks.
Unless cutting very close to thermal limits, pretty much all decent blocks would still perform well.
The only reason I ended up going with the specific one from EK is because I had to start from zero again, and it would match perfectly my GPU block.
But if you already owns the block, don't bother.
