I've ordered an Eisblock XPX Aurora Edge directly from Alphacool and received it yesterday. I am using a Core Ultra 265K, socket 1851. According to the manual, a backplate for sockets 1851 and 1700, which is rectangular, should be included. However, only one backplate is included, which is more X-shaped and, according to the manual, is intended for sockets 115x and 1200.
Now the question is: Is the correct backplate missing, OR is the X-shaped backplate a new model that fits all sockets? Because purely based on the hole measurements, it would fit due to the adjustable threads. However, I’m not sure if all the height ratios will also fit in the end. So, if the backplate does fit for 1851, I could start the installation right away. Otherwise, I would need to request the correct backplate.
By the way, I did send an email yesterday, but because of the holiday on friday here in Germany, I’d rather also ask here (as well as in the german forum), so that I don’t have to wait unnecessarily until after the weekend, IF the x-shaped backplate woult fit for socket 1851. Maybe someone here who knows about it will read this.
Thanks!
