Is this adapter for all models of CLC cooler? I notice that some models, like the 400-HY-CL28-V1, now list LGA1700 compatability on the product page. Does anyone know if that means new ones are now shipping with LGA 1700 compatible hardware included?
The retention kit will work with all models of our CLC products, including CL11 (but it takes a bit more work to swap retention kits). All current CLC coolers shipping from EVGA.com (US/CA) have the LGA1700 retention kits included, except for CL11; you will need to purchase the adapter separately for CL11.
It will still take some time for the CLC coolers at our authorized resellers to sell out of models that do not have the retention kits, but EVGA.com, at least, has them if you want to be sure.
