So I've just bought my parts, upgrading to a 13600k.
Wanted to reuse my aio and saw corsair offer a retrofit kit for some of their older aios. I came from a skylake processor so a lga 1151. The kit is for a few different models but one of them is 115x - assuming 50 and 51 etc.
Cooler:

New standoffs:

I've tried with the new standoffs but there is no way that the aio block will even thread onto them. Tried for a good couple hours. Then thought screw it, I'll try my old standoffs from my older system as they were much longer. I installed the block, removed and checked that paste had applied and spread (formed a good contact) confirmed this and then cleaned all this off and reapplied for real this time.
Connected everything up and booted into bios but had a warning that the cpu was overheating. Pump seemed OK and fans were spinning- plugged the 3 pin connector into a 4 pin cpu fan socket on my tomahawk z970.
Anyone have any advice? I took the block off again and paste looked great. Good coverage over the whole cpu. Tried again with the new standoffs but have given up as became to frustrating.
Have spoken to someone on reddit and they mentioned that my all in one uses asetek rather than cool-it (I've never heard of this difference).
They mentioned I'd need one of these instead: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Premium-LGA1700-Retention-Asetek-Based-Coolers/dp/B09JR7NY5H/
But I can't find how I would change the bracket that comes preinstalled on the corsair cooler. The product also dosent say its compatible with the corsair series.
Any help appreciated
