I am looking to upgrade to an i5-13600kf system and in another thread was told that the fan I was looking at wasn't powerful enough and a few people recommended the Assassin 120 series.
In Canada, seems they're about $70-90, but I saw the black 120 SE selling for $43 from one seller on Amazon, free ship so grabbed it.
Where I am confused is, Amazon says LGA1700. The manufacturer site, though sparse in detail, lists LGA1700. No asterisk or in brackets mentioning extra hardware.
But I keep seeing reviews about needing a $10 adapter for LGA1700. One review says it mounts fine to LGA1700 but you need to buy a CPU buckle? No idea what that is.
I grabbed the fan because cheap, but rest of the parts will likely be another month away. Will this fan work? Does it need extra hardware? Or does the newer SE model have all that?
