ASUS announced that as of October 2021, ROG Ryujin, ROG Strix and TUF Gaming all-in-one (AIO) CPU coolers all ship with an LGA 1700 mounting kit. This is designed to enable full compatibility with all Z690 motherboards arriving this fall for the innovative 12th Generation Intel® Core™ desktop processors. The kit for these premium AIO coolers includes one mounting bracket, one backplate, and four screws.
The full list of eligible ASUS AIO coolers is as follows: ROG Ryujin II 360, ROG Ryujin II 240, ROG Strix LC II 360, ROG Strix LC II 360 ARGB, ROG Strix LC II 280 ARGB, ROG Strix LC II 240, ROG Strix LC II 240 ARGB, ROG Strix LC II 120 ARGB, TUF Gaming LC 240 ARGB and the TUF Gaming LC 120 ARGB.

All ASUS Z690 motherboards also include LGA 1200 mounting holes in addition to LGA 1700. Therefore, if current owners of ASUS AIO coolers possess an LGA 1200 mounting kit that came with their cooler, they can smoothly upgrade to any ASUS Z690 motherboard.
