Hello, do I need a new cooler for the Ryzen 1700x on the Gigabyte AORUS AX370-GAMING 5? Or will my Intel stock cooler fit on it? :??:
 
Solution
Stock cooler uses different mounting measurements than AM4. So it won't work at all.

Plus, Ryzen runs a lot hotter than Skylake, so the stock cooler wouldn't be enough either way.


How long do you think? I'm planning on buying one soon but they only selll the CPU seperately atm.. xd
 


Is there a reason why you can't use an aftermarket heatsink?
