According corsair u can use AM4 coolers without having to use new or other brackets. Only coolers with a custom bracket/backplate need to be installed different or are not compatible? Why did u have to use it? Upgrading atm and this confuses me.. Corsair 👇🏼 Yes, the AMD AM5 motherboard socket uses the same CPU cooler bracket size as the AM4 socket. This means that if you already have a CORSAIR cooler attached to an AM4 motherboard, you do not need to purchase new brackets or replace your cooler when upgrading your system to the new AM5 platform.
@justthat694 ай бұрын
Good question i had. Does the am5 latch lock better than Am4 latches because there were some rare times i had where the am4 latch would fail and unlock cpu after building a pc i noticed it 2 times and one of those times my friend who put one cpu in he swear up and down he put the latch down Thankfully, 2 times it did happen, nothing was damaged, and we just lock it put cpu in correctly.

I am going to getting a PC next week with 7800x3d. Is it the same way as this video? I am very nervous of breaking it because it is expensive. Will it be clear when you line up the triangles that it sat in properly before using the lever? Hard to tell on video. Debated paying 80 dollars for microcenter to install it but that seems to be way too much for a 30 second process.

Yeah mate, 100 percent if it's fitted into the slots you are safe to pull it down. U can give it a very GENTLE, TAP, or wiggle but really there's no need u can tell it's in just by looking at the slots

Fair enough. The one I'm using is the XT, which is a the latest model. Corsair says it's perfectly fine to use AM4 versions (see help.corsair.com/hc/en-us/articles/9842633794317-Is-the-AMD-AM5-motherboard-socket-compatible-with-older-cooler-brackets-)

@@TheProvokedPrawn Yes I got it installed just a pain to get those hooks sorted without messing up the pre-applied thermal paste.

Strangely the instructions that came with my cooled did not have the hooks as an option but had the newer mount in their diagram.
