[SOLVED] LiquidbFreezer II 360mm and AM5 socket

[vladakv]

Hi all.

I ordered Ryzen 7 7700x and the Liquid Freezer II 360mm ARGB and on the box I dont see AM5 support.
Should I look for some AM5 mounting kit or itbis possible to mount on AM4 kit whoch I have in the box of the cooler?

from what amd has said, am4 coolers will mount on the am5 socket.

not seen anything to change this since they were released.

With a caveat according to this article -- https://hothardware.com/news/is-your-cpu-cooler-compatible-with-am5-for-zen-4
HAVE to use the MB backplate.

good catch, i forgot to add that in.

and makes a big difference as many coolers use their own custom backplate.

thanks for pointing that out as it is rather important
