I have a brand new Corsair H100i RGB PLATINUM SE just laying around and I know a lot of am4 coolers are compatible with am5 boards but only if they don't use a custom backplate but I don't know if this cooler does uses one for the amd installaiton. I do know that a custom backplate is used for the intel installation though. I just need to know if this cooler doesn't use a backplate for amd installation and is compatible with am5 or not.
