Will the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black Edition with LGA1700 (RR-212S-20PK-R2) work with the MSI PRO B860M-A 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).
