About this deal

This new socket requires a change to the mounting system for our award-winning Kraken Series of AIO CPU coolers. Right next to the Screws (under on the upper and above on the lower screws, outside the RM) you can see the AM3 holes. Thermal grease may flow over the edges of the processor and reach the socket if excessive amounts are applied. Each using a different locking mechanism, either by retention clips or spring-screws, to secure it to the motherboard. You need to have enough slack to get the screw clip loops over the retention hooks of the mounting clip.

The other important thing is the force you are using to tighten the four screws that hold the water block together. If you already have a Kraken or are purchasing one that doesn’t already include the AM4 bracket, no need to worry.With any PC system build it is important that the CPU cooler is properly installed to ensure that heat is effectively dissipated to maintain appropriate operating temperatures.

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. As such, they are an easy way to continue using your favourite cooler when upgrading to the latest generation. I noticed that the IO shield and original mounting brackets for the CPU cooler were missing while I was watching a build guide for my motherboard.When I tried to attach the AMD Wraith Stealth CPU cooler to my motherboard, there was nothing for the screws to attach to.

Follow a diagonal pattern across the CPU cooler, using a screwdriver turn each spring-screw a full turn counterclockwise. What’s more, these mounting kits boast compatibility with a range of modern CPU sockets, including Intel LGA 1700 and AMD AM5. Not all coolers fit all of Intel and AMD's processor sockets, so these kits can be used to make a heatsink work with a previously-unsupported motherboard.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. Assume that any photo is a library photo, not the actual item you will receive, unless expressly mentioned above. Due to the difference between different monitors, the picture may not reflect the actual color of the item. After you have unscrewed the four bolts that hold the water block together, you can disassemble it to its key components. 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.
