You can contact Corsair to obtain a LGA 1700 compatibility mounting kit.

Also, go ahead and get you the Thermalright contact frame to replace the stock Intel ILM

Another recommendation for Corsair AIOs is to get some foam fan gaskets from Phobya which will improve airpressure in the radiator and reduce turbulence noise. I have some installed on my H155i Platinum.

The Intel 1700 socket has a known issue of the CPUs deforming from an admitted design flaw in the mounting solution. The Thermalright frame addresses that issue.

Intel made a rectangle that gets mounted into a bed of springs, and then made the loading mechanism put ALL of its pressure on the middle of the long sides
