Will the DeepCool AK620 work with the ASRock Z890 Steel Legend WiFi?
Yes. Intel LGA1700 cooler mounting works where Intel LGA1851 cooler mounting is expected.
Both records are reviewed against the manufacturers' sources; sources last checked 2026-10-14. Informational only: confirm with the manufacturer before buying.
Why
- ✓ Intel LGA1700 cooler mounting works where Intel LGA1851 cooler mounting is expected.
Good to know
- Intel: LGA1700 and LGA1851 mounting holes are in the same locations, so LGA1700 thermal solutions fit LGA1851 without modification. Intel says this covers mounting only; confirm thermal/power suitability with the cooler maker.
- Noctua: all LGA1700-compatible Noctua coolers and mounting kits are also compatible with LGA1851.
- Optional offset mounting (e.g. Noctua NM-IMB8 bars listed for the NH-D15 G2 on Core Ultra 9 285K / 7 265K) is a performance accessory, not required for fitment.
- Coolers designed for LGA1200/115x do not fit without LGA1700 hardware. Noctua sends free NM-i17xx-MP83 / NM-i17xx-MP78 upgrade kits (by mounting pitch); Corsair sells the CW-8960091 LGA1700 Retrofit Kit for coolers such as the H150i RGB PRO XT.
- Noctua: the original NH-L9i cannot be used on LGA1700/LGA1851 (it would sit too low); use the NH-L9i-17xx instead. The NH-L9i-17xx must not be used on LGA115x/LGA1200.
- To check a Noctua cooler: if the box specs mention LGA1700, or the Intel parts include the NM-IBP4 backplate, LGA1700/LGA1851 parts are included.

- Intel LGA1851 cooler mounting: CPU cooler mounting on LGA1851 (Core Ultra 200S) boards; mounting holes are in the same positions as LGA1700. (Intel: Are cooling solutions designed for LGA1700 compatible with LGA1851 socket?).
- Intel LGA1700 cooler mounting: CPU cooler mounting on LGA1700 (12th-14th Gen) boards; different hole spacing and stack-up height from LGA1200/115x. (Noctua: Intel LGA1700 - all you need to know).
