[SOLVED] CPU Cooler Compatibility with AM4 mobo

[harrymcclure2004]

I am going to buy the Ryzen 5 1600x and was planning to use my old CPU cooler with it.
My old CPU cooler is the Corsair H75 which isn't compatible with the AM4 motherboard: B450 AORUS Elite, but instead it is compatible with AM3 motherboards

PCPartpicker told me that the cooler would work on the 1600x if I used a 'separately available mounting adapter' to fit that motherboard.

Can someone please give a recommendation on a good mount and explain whether I could actually use this cooler if I got one, and if it would actually work.

Please advise

AM4 adapter for your H75.
