Hello! i see that the xpx pro line has support for basically all sockets but when i go and look it up on case king it says only older HEDT platforms like x299 and threadripper. So do all XPX PRO (brass or rgb) block come standard with lga 1200 & lga 1700 mounting or they only come with lga 2066 etc. I have a older 11900k build that had a xpx aurora but when ek was drowning i got a magnitude for 50eur and i swapped it. But now 2 years late (time files) i noticed a bit of corosion and it seems like i tightned the screws a bit too much and micro cracks can be seen in the plexi (super small, like super super small) but for peace i want to buy a xpx pro block cause the damn core 1 doesn't support lga 1200 :( . So now case king and claude have me so confused about the mounting. TY!

All XPX Pro blocks also fit socket 1200. We no longer list this socket because there has been virtually no demand for it for quite a long time, and the compatibility lists for all the sockets keep getting longer.

That is also why we made a cut with the Core 1. From that point on, only newer sockets are supported. Any new coolers will no longer fit older sockets than 1700/1851 and AM4/AM5.

thank you for the reply, ordered one from caseking. That sucks but i fully understand. lga 1200 wasn't particularly great for enthusiasts but yeah people buying 50+ eur blocks most likely have newer cpu's. I just happen to really like this 11900k build and want to keep it going for as long as the 14nm die doesn't burn up. :)
