PRESS RELEASE
January 17th 2022 – Scythe releases a revised version of 1700 mounting kit (SCMK-1700B) in 2022. The four mounting angles have evolved from fixed struts into fine-cut plow bolts. This allows the SCMK-1700B mounting kit to have more solid contact pressure to the CPU surface than SCMK-1700.
The SCMK-1700B kit is already available for the Japan and Taiwan market and will be available for purchase in mid-end of March in the USA and Europe, for listing in other regions please contact Scythe local agents.

Editor’s Note: Recent discussions about weaknesses in Intel’s LGA1700 mounting system may have spurred this subtle revision to Scythe’s mounting kit upgrade, but it remains to be seen whether this will be able to compensate for the flaw long-term.
