CPU cooler socket mounting kit SILVERSTONE XAC-MK-4710 — bracket for Intel LGA4677 / LGA4710, black, for XE360PDD / XE360 series

SILVERSTONE XAC-MK-4710 is a socket mounting kit engineered to support Intel LGA4677 and LGA4710 processors. The kit includes a black bracket and the mechanical hardware required to attach compatible SilverStone XE360PDD and XE360 series coolers to the specified server and workstation sockets. It is intended to ensure correct cooler alignment, stable fixation and consistent contact pressure between the cooler base and the CPU integrated heat spreader for effective heat transfer.

Advantages

The mounting kit provides a purpose-made bracket and fasteners that match the hole pattern and mounting plane of LGA4677 and LGA4710 sockets, reducing installation ambiguity. Its construction promotes even mounting pressure and stable retention of tower or top-flow coolers from the XE360PDD / XE360 families. The included components are designed for mechanical compatibility and repeatable installation in rack servers and workstation builds where secure cooler attachment is required.

Suitable for

• Server and workstation motherboards with Intel LGA4677 socket
• Server and workstation motherboards with Intel LGA4710 socket
• SilverStone XE360PDD and XE360 series CPU coolers requiring a bracket for these sockets
• System builds that need secure, repeatable CPU cooler mounting in rack or tower chassis

Key specifications

• Compatible sockets: Intel LGA4677, LGA4710
• Bracket color and finish: black
• Designed compatibility: SilverStone XE360PDD and XE360 series coolers
• Function: mechanical mounting hardware to secure CPU cooler and ensure proper contact pressure
• Typical use environment: servers, workstations, rack-mounted systems

How to use

Install the mounting kit by first powering down the system and removing any existing cooler according to the motherboard and cooler instructions. Position the supplied bracket on the motherboard so that its mounting holes align with the socket mounting posts for LGA4677 or LGA4710. Secure the bracket using the included fasteners, applying even torque as specified by the cooler manufacturer to achieve uniform contact pressure. After the bracket is fastened, apply thermal interface material to the CPU IHS and install the compatible XE360PDD or XE360 cooler per the cooler's installation guide, ensuring the cooler base seats flat against the CPU surface.

Recommendations

Use only the mounting hardware and torque values recommended by SilverStone and the cooler manufacturer. Verify socket compatibility before installation and confirm that the bracket does not obstruct other components such as memory modules, PCIe cards or chassis elements. For reliable thermal performance, replace thermal interface material when reinstalling the cooler and periodically inspect fasteners for proper retention in service environments.
