Good to know
- Intel: 600-series and 700-series boards require a BIOS update to boot 13th and 14th Gen Core processors, and may need one when moving between 12th, 13th and 14th Gen. Update the BIOS before swapping the CPU.
- Each LGA1700 board supports either DDR4 or DDR5, never both (e.g. 'D4' / 'DDR4' model variants). The CPUs support both, so buy RAM to match the board.
- Intel recommends a BIOS with microcode 0x12F or later for 13th/14th Gen desktop processors (Vmin Shift instability issue).
- LGA1700 processors do not fit LGA1851 (Core Ultra 200S) boards, and Core Ultra 200S processors do not fit LGA1700 boards.
- 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.
