Intel Core Ultra 200 “Arrow Lake” Platform: LIAN LI Liquid Coolers Maintain Compatibility with New LGA 1851 Socket
As Intel continues to push the boundaries of desktop computing, the release of the Core Ultra 200 series, also known as the “Arrow Lake” platform, is set to be a major milestone in processor technology. Alongside this new generation of CPUs, Intel is introducing a new socket, the LGA 1851, which will replace the previous LGA 1700 socket found on 12th and 13th Gen Intel processors. The LGA 1851 socket will be seen on the upcoming Z890 motherboard chipset.
While new sockets typically come with concerns about compatibility, there’s good news for existing LIAN LI liquid cooler users. All LIAN LI liquid coolers will be fully compatible with the new LGA 1851 socket without the need for any additional brackets or adapters.
LGA 1851 and LGA 1700: Same Dimensions, Same Cooler Compatibility
Despite being a new socket, LGA 1851 retains the same physical dimensions and cooler mounting hole spacing as the LGA 1700 socket. This means that the new Arrow Lake CPUs and Z890 motherboards will not require new mounting solutions for cooling.
Since cooler compatibility is often a top concern, rest assured that if you’re using any of the following LIAN LI coolers, they’ll work perfectly with the upcoming LGA 1851:
-
- Hydroshift LCD 360TL
- Hydroshift LCD 360R
- Hydroshift LCD 360S
- Galahad II Trinity Performance
- Galahad II Trinity SL-INF 360/240
- Galahad II Trinity 360/240
- Galahad II LCD SL-INF 360
- Galahad II LCD 360/280
Seamless Transition for LIAN LI Users
With the launch of Intel’s Core Ultra 200 CPUs on the horizon, it’s reassuring to know that existing LIAN LI liquid cooling solutions will remain fully compatible with the new LGA 1851 socket. The same mounting hole spacing and dimensions mean that upgrading your system can be done with confidence, knowing your cooling system is ready to handle the latest processors without any additional investment in cooling hardware.
