About this deal

We are so confident in the quality of our work that we stand behind every MicroDream Certified Refurbished product with a 12 Month Warranty as standard and we are able to offer our 30 Day Money Back Guarantee with complete confidence.

They feature durable construction from premium quality materials and usually comprise of a backplate, spacers, brackets, and screws. 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. If you are reinstalling the CPU cooler, the lid on the top of the CPU and the bottom plate of the CPU cooler should be clean and free of any old thermal grease.Only makes sense on a tiled surface or so, on a carpet its bad anyway because that can also charge up your body. For instructions on how to install an AMD Ryzen processor, please refer to video: How to Install AMD Ryzen Processors. With the release of the new Ryzen™ CPUs and A-series APUs codenamed Bristol Ridge, the AMD water cooling community will bloom again and that is why we prepared a short tutorial. Mostly because there are some rare exeptions that do have AM2-3/FM1/2 - for example ASUS X370-F Strix. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item.

Follow a diagonal pattern across the CPU cooler, further tighten each spring-screw with a full turn. This new socket requires a change to the mounting system for our award-winning Kraken Series of AIO CPU coolers.Seller has stated it will dispatch the item within 1 working day upon receipt of cleared payment - opens in a new window or tab . Anyways i had the understanding that am4 mounting was just the holes in the motherboard, and those clip type mounting hardware were am3. Thermal grease may flow over the edges of the processor and reach the socket if excessive amounts are applied. If the CPU cooler has RGB LED, connect the bundled RGB cable to CPU cooler and the RGB header on the motherboard. I purchased the MSI B350 PRO-VDH motherboard used on Craigslist because the deal was too good to pass up.

Removing the CPU cooler is usually performed when replacing with a new unit or applying fresh thermal grease. 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. What’s more, these mounting kits boast compatibility with a range of modern CPU sockets, including Intel LGA 1700 and AMD AM5.assuming he has an AM4 board (which I can only assume he does based on his subject title), then those brackets are obviously AM4 ones, as is the socket. On the contrary, that's the best way to build the PC as you don't have any cloth that could charge your body up. 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.

Some AM4 AIO coolers (Coolermaster and some Corsairs I know from personal experience), use those mounting brackets.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. 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.
