I have this cooler on the 12900ks and it cools well. I leave it encoding video for 24hr sometimes and have had no problems. The cpu definitely runs hot. You can feel the warm air blowing off but the heat sync is affective. **Q: Does this support LGA1700 out of the box, does it include any necessary kits/mounting brackets?** A: Not entirely sure, but rather than asking here, I'd ask on the Noctua site. It may be harder to get a straight answer from consumers than directly from the company. I'm sure there's an email on the site you can send a message to. Noctua is good with follow up. I know mine came with brackets for both AMD and Intel, but I'm an AMD guy, so I don't know if LGA1700 is one of the Intel brackets this thing supports. Hope that helps. **Q: Any insights from early adopters regarding the coating's longevity? I wonder if it will dry/crack/peel-off after years of use. Thanks** A: I have a feeling that it's anodized aluminum, not a coating, so it shouldn't dry/crack/peel. Just a theory though. **Q: Is this good enough to cool a Ryzen 7 5800X?** A: I have Ryzen 7 5800x and use this version of chromax. You will not be dissappointed. Just make sure your fans pointing correct direction ## Frequently Bought Together - Noctua NH-U12A chromax.Black, 120mm Single-Tower CPU Cooler (Black) - ARCTIC MX-4 (4 g) - Premium Performance Thermal Paste for All Processors (CPU, GPU - PC), Very high Thermal Conductivity, Long Durability, Safe Application, Non-Conductive - Samsung 990 PRO SSD NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen4, M.2 2280 Internal Solid State Hard Drive, Seq.
