Newbie (rather, oldie returning to gaming! last looked inside a case in 2006) attemting new system build with AIO cooler Kraken x73 360mm RGB which I thought going by the NZXT website (below) was compatible Intel socket LGA 1200 as I have a bought a Z490 Asus Rog extreme xii mobo using a core i9 10900k - on getting the x73 the instructions do not list LGA 1200 but lists 1151, 1150, 1155, 1156, 1366, 2011, 2011-3, 2066? core i9 etc.

Have I missed a trick or missed the bus at my age? i just don't understand...

Any assistance greatfully received!

Lol you clearly missed it.

Look at the first line compatable Compatible Socket & CPU Intel Socket LGA 1200,

The cooler mounting is the same anyway for LGA1200 and LGA115x.

Ok thanks guys. I guess the instruction leaflet and box are generic stock and so I'll go by the web site ref to LGA 1200 and your helpful reassurances especially re the mounting being the same for LGA 115X and 1200. Cheers.
