Bought an Asrock AB350M socket AM4 motherboard, i have a hyper 212 evo, will it fit?

will the motherboard holes match the bracket and will the X shape heatsink holder thing be able to reach?

If the cooler is from before am4 was announced then you will need a custom am4 backplate from C.Master.

Hmmm i am confused, i have an X arm which looks exactly like that, but i heard the back bracket needs to have an extra hole for am4 which mine doesn't have. Or is the AM4 X arm just longer? or shorter? whats the difference, i have one that fits on an LGA 1151 motherboard, ill give u an image of my back bracket https://i.imgur.com/WDTQubx.png

Am4 needs extra backplate and a different X arm

So i need both? a new arm and a new backplate? do they come together in am4 upgrade kit?

if they cost more then you should invest in a better cooler
