Yes.  I just edited my post above as it looks like it needs a standoff for the support bracket according to the Corsair site.  £1.99 and free delivery.  Future kits to have 1700 socket support out of the box.  

Oh ok. Yeah LGA 1700 is elongated as you mentioned. Good ram specs though you should near equal the DD5-6000 Ram. Ill wait also till DDR5 is optimised and also not handing down my 11900k just yet as to standoff issue on coolers.

Sure.  Corsair list the centres as 78mm actually, but I notice on my old board and the new 1700 socket the holes are slightly elongated / slotted.

Just found the Corsair socket 1700 adapter standoffs on the UK website for £2.99 actually (inflation! ).  Good job you started me off looking at this, or I might have been a disappointed little boy with no toy to play with at Christmas!
