Question i5 12600k and Corsair h100i v2 compatibility

[smrdelj]

Hello everyone, thanks for helping me. I am upgrading my cpu to an i5 12600k. In my current i7 7700k I have a Corsair h100i v2 water cooler installed. How could I use it for my new cpu? Because I understand that the Corsair LGA1700 retrofit kit would not be compatible with my cooler.
Is there anything I can do or buy so I can use my water cooler?
Thank you very much!

The mounting pattern is different, alongside the retention mechanism. You're best off going for a new cooler for that processor/platform. Further reading.
