Overview
- The Corsair CW-8960091 is a standalone LGA1700 standoff component designed to retrofit existing Corsair Capellix liquid coolers for use with Intel's Alder Lake-S processors. This retrofit approach enables you to extend the life of compatible coolers when upgrading to newer CPU sockets without purchasing a completely new cooler assembly.
This standoff kit supports Elite Capellix and PRO XT cooler models, as well as Corsair Platinum and Platinum SE variants. It is important to note that this product contains only the standoff component; you will need to retain or separately source the retention brackets and backplate required for your specific socket configuration.
Ideal for system builders, IT professionals, and enthusiasts looking to maximise cooling investment when transitioning to LGA1700 platforms. Backed by Corsair's 12-month manufacturer warranty.

FAQs
What coolers are compatible with the Corsair CW-8960091 standoff kit?
The CW-8960091 standoff is compatible with Corsair Elite Capellix, PRO XT, Platinum, and Platinum SE cooler models. It does not support the H45 variant or A500 coolers. Newer Elite LCD coolers (H100i/150i/170i) come with LGA1700 support built-in and do not require this retrofit kit.
Do I need anything else to install this standoff kit?
Yes. This kit contains only the standoff component. You will need to retain your existing LGA1200/LGA115x retention brackets and backplate, or separately source LGA1700-compatible brackets and backplate. Alternatively, purchase the full assembly kit (CW-8960093) which includes all necessary components.
Will this kit work with my Intel Alder Lake-S processor?
Yes, the CW-8960091 standoff is specifically designed to support Intel Alder Lake-S processors using the LGA1700 socket. It enables retrofit compatibility between older Capellix coolers and new-generation Intel CPUs.
Is this a complete cooler mounting solution?
No. This is a standoff-only component. A complete mounting solution requires retention brackets and a backplate appropriate for your socket type and cooler model.
What is the warranty on the CW-8960091?
The Corsair CW-8960091 includes a 12-month manufacturer warranty covering manufacturing defects.
Can I use this with my old LGA1150 or LGA1151 cooler?
This standoff retrofit kit is designed to enable LGA1200/LGA115x coolers to work with LGA1700 sockets. You will need compatible retention brackets and a backplate for your specific cooler model.
What if I want a complete mounting kit instead?
Corsair offers the CW-8960093 as a full assembly kit that includes the standoff and all necessary brackets for LGA1700 installation.
