CPU mounting kit for LGA 1700 socket — RAIJINTEK Scylla / Phorcys (0R40B00241)

This mounting kit provides the hardware necessary to install RAIJINTEK Scylla and Phorcys CPU coolers on motherboards with Intel's LGA 1700 socket. It is designed to replace or upgrade existing mounting components so that compatible RAIJINTEK cooler models fit the newer socket dimensions and standoff locations. The kit includes brackets, screws, spacers and backplate elements required for secure attachment of the cooler to the CPU and motherboard while maintaining correct pressure and alignment.

Advantages

The kit restores compatibility between RAIJINTEK Scylla / Phorcys coolers and LGA 1700 motherboards, eliminating the need to purchase a new cooler when upgrading the platform. Components are sized and shaped to match the mechanical requirements of LGA 1700, ensuring reliable contact and even mounting pressure. Using the dedicated mounting parts reduces installation time compared with improvised adapters and helps maintain the cooler’s thermal performance by securing consistent seating.

Suitable for

• Desktop PC builders upgrading to Intel LGA 1700 platforms
• Users adapting RAIJINTEK Scylla or Phorcys coolers to newer motherboards
• System maintenance where original mounting hardware is missing or damaged
• Small-scale repairs and refurbishments of air CPU cooling solutions

Key specifications

• Compatibility: LGA 1700 socket geometry and standoff pattern
• Included parts: mounting brackets, screws, spacers, backplate components (complete hardware set for installation)
• Material: metal brackets and hardware with corrosion-resistant finish
• Fitment: designed specifically for use with RAIJINTEK Scylla and Phorcys air coolers
• Mounting method: backplate-supported retention with top screws for even pressure distribution

How to use

Power down the system and disconnect power before beginning installation. Remove the existing cooler and clean the CPU surface, then place the backplate on the rear of the motherboard aligning it to the LGA 1700 hole pattern. Position the spacers and secure the mounting brackets over the CPU area using the supplied screws. Apply an appropriate amount of thermal paste to the CPU heatspreader, set the RAIJINTEK cooler onto the installed brackets ensuring correct orientation, and tighten screws evenly in a cross pattern to achieve uniform contact. Reconnect power and check fan operation after initial boot.

Recommendations

Use only the supplied hardware intended for LGA 1700 to avoid uneven mounting pressure. Do not overtighten screws; tighten gradually and alternately to prevent damage to the CPU or motherboard. Verify BIOS and system temperatures after installation to confirm correct seating and thermal performance.
