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

Product Information

For instructions on how to install an AMD Ryzen processor, please refer to video: How to Install AMD Ryzen Processors. From there, proceed with your typical Hydro Series cooler installation (don't forget to plug in your power and USB cables). If your system has been powered off for some time, the existing thermal grease may be in a hardened state which could make removing the CPU cooler difficult and potentially damage the CPU in the process. Follow a diagonal pattern across the CPU cooler, using a screwdriver turn each spring-screw a full turn counterclockwise. No other cooler will come with those, but I don't think any air cooler would need them anyway, it's only certain AIOs that use those brackets, but I may be wrong and there could be exceptions as I've not used every AM4 air cooler on the market.

All new AM4 AMD CPU water block mounting kits are also reverse-compatible with the older AMD sockets.

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.Some AM4 AIO coolers (Coolermaster and some Corsairs I know from personal experience), use those mounting brackets. Position the CPU cooler on the processor so that the retention clips on each side of the heatsink align with the socket mounting lugs on the retention frame on the motherboard. You need to have enough slack to get the screw clip loops over the retention hooks of the mounting clip. After you have unscrewed the four bolts that hold the water block together, you can disassemble it to its key components. Because for mounting any am4 coolers ive had to remove the clip things, but for am3 coolers ive had to use the clip mechanism.

Mostly because there are some rare exeptions that do have AM2-3/FM1/2 - for example ASUS X370-F Strix. I mean, he says " two pieces that came with the motherboard itself" and the picture he's posted shows them with someone (un)screwing them.Seller has stated it will dispatch the item within 1 working day upon receipt of cleared payment - opens in a new window or tab .

Carefully apply a thin bead of high-quality thermal grease in an X pattern across the CPU lid for best coverage.

Lightly twist the CPU cooler clockwise and counterclockwise to loosen the seal between the heatsink and the lid of the CPU. Position the CPU cooler so that the four spring-screws on the heatsink align with the four screw holes of the backplate. These are the two options I've figured out on my own, but I feel like some outside expertise would speed up the process and I'm anxious to start gaming.
