How to mount my cpu heatsink
I have i5 12600k on a msi z690a with a coolmaster hyper 212 black edition cooling. The box says supports 1200 socket , but in the manual it speaks nothing of how to mount for the the 1200, so it has a bunch of different brackets but i'm confused, and I can't seem to find any info elsewhere on which brackets to use. Does anyone else have a similar setup or advice?

Your 12600k uses the LGA 1700 socket
My bad, but other sites say, even coolmasters website for the lga1700 this heatsink works, but i just don't want to break something
As far as I know there should be a bracket and instructions for LGA 1700, if there isn't you probably got a cooler released prior to the 12th gen. If that's the case contact cooler master support, maybe they'll send you the bracket ?
I called microcenter as it’s where I got it, and apparently there is an lga1700 bracket for $5, and I’m headed there now haha. Thanks for your time.
Glad I could be of assistance
I think you have to contact cooler master and they will ship one for you. Out of the box it only has lga1200
