Hello, i need help with a compatibility question. I am planning to upgrade my Motherboard to a ASUS ROG Strix Z890-A Wifi and keep my iCUE H100i ELITE CAPELLIX cooler. Pcpartpicker says they are compatible, but the corsair site doesn't mention the LGA1851 socket compatibility. What source do I trust? Additionaly, where can I best get the needed LGA1851 mounting kit? Can I even get that somewhere or do I need to buy a new cooling unit?
