All NZXT coolers with LGA 1700 support will support Intel's new 1851 Socket without the need for a new bracket; simply re-use the LGA 1700 bracket with your LGA 1851 motherboard and CPU.

If you have an older NZXT Kraken X or Z series cooler that does not support the LGA 1700 socket, you can purchase a mounting kit from the link below:

NZXT Kraken XZ LGA 1700 Mounting Tools

If the above kit is not available for purchase in your region, all NZXT Kraken X and Z series coolers are compatible with any Asetek-based mounting kit.
