The compatibility of cooling system attachments with new motherboards for processors Socket AM4 has already been studied comprehensively. The manufacturers of cooling systems either offer free sets of attachments for Socket AM4, or they produce completely new compatible coolers, and in some cases guarantee that the old coolers will be installed in new boards without problems. It turns out that these nuances of compatibility are not limited, as explained by colleagues from the site Tom's Hardware
Guide .
The source found that a number of motherboards are equipped with reinforcing plates with threaded connections of excessive length, which, when the cooling system is installed, does not secure a close fit of the cooler base to the processor cover. The reason for this discrepancy lies in the late provision of information by AMD to its partners.
PC Games Hardware website says that the company is quiet! Encourages owners of "early" motherboards with socket AM4 to use standard washers M4 with a height of 0.8 mm each to compensate for the gap. Under each rack is put on three washers M4, all they need 12 pieces. The manufacturer of cooling systems is even ready to provide such sets for free.
It's interesting that motherboard manufacturers also recognized the existence of this problem. They assume that the user, if necessary, can dismantle the stiffening plate from the back of the board under the processor socket, and install their own - they are often attached to the cooling systems of the processor. As a rule, the standard reinforcing plate to the printed circuit board is fixed with the help of glue, which becomes plastic after heating. Related Products :
