AMD CPU Fan Bracket Socket Retention Mounting Base for AM4 Motherboard chipset B350 X370 A320 X470 with Screws Side Fixing Holder

Product Information

If you are reinstalling the CPU cooler, the lid on the top of the CPU and the bottom plate on the CPU cooler should be clean and free of any residual thermal grease. We began including this new bracket in all Kraken coolers we are manufacturing and Krakens that include the AM4 bracket should start to show up in retail in late April.

Right next to the Screws (under on the upper and above on the lower screws, outside the RM) you can see the AM3 holes. Whether you are jumping from a previous AMD socket, an Intel platform, or you just purchased an EK-Supremacy EVO water block that has the Intel bracket pre-mounted, the process is the same.

Anyways i had the understanding that am4 mounting was just the holes in the motherboard, and those clip type mounting hardware were am3.

Item has been pulled from salvage machine so expect the item to be in a used condition with minor scuffs etc. Sending goods outside the United Kingdom may result in additional local customs clearance charges and taxes. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. With that sorted out, we can move forward to the actual tutorial, since every previously sold CPU water block will need the new „ Mounting plate Supremacy AMD“ bracket to fit the new AM4 socket.Ocuk Limited trading as Overclockers UK is a credit broker, not a lender, and is Authorised and Regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. I snapped one of the clips on a build before being a bit aggressive when tightening the cooler down. As such, they are an easy way to continue using your favourite cooler when upgrading to the latest generation. This is my first build so I would appreciate any additional advise you have for how I should upgrade my system later for better cooling.
