[SOLVED] My old cooler socket 939 fits on am4 mainboard

[David336yeah]

Is it normal that AMD Boxed Cooler sockel 939 fits on a am4 mainboard Gigabyte GA-A320M-S2H

Yes, the AM4 socket was designed with very similar dimensions. I recently used an AMD Wraith cooler on an AM3 based system as well.

In your case, the old cooler may be underwhelming for a modern AM4 CPU's cooling needs.

Okay but i am just trying to work it out for like 2 days because i will then have a new am4 cooler and i just wanna test if it works and game on it until my new cooler comes will it work my pc is allways cool i got the 160$ be quiet case and its allways good and cooled in their.

What CPU are you using?

 

[David336yeah]

Amd ryzen 5 1400

Personally, I would NOT use the old cooler with the new CPU. Just not worth the risk. Wait a couple days to use a proper AM4 cooler is my advice.

Is it one of the stock coolers, that had copper heatpipes? If so, I would say it would be fine, with a 1400.

Well now i found my big cooler also from am3+ should i use it. I bought it for 30$ 3 months ago

What make/model is it?

If it uses the clips, like the stock cooler does, it should be fine. Otherwise you are going to need an AM4 bracket.
