Are you supposed to replace the back plate? The directions don't show this with AM4 but if I use the original solid metal backplate the board doesn't stay flush with it with these standoffs. It's also incredibly annoying they have unlabeled bags and both H and F standoffs fit the holes.. I don't see you replace the backplate in the video but mine is not sitting flush like that. If I raise the board it sinks, if the board is on box it does not. If I hold the board up it's not level. I've never had this problem with Noctua coolers.
It worried me as well since I haven't built a system in a very long time. There is a gap between the standoff and back plate that allows movement, however once you lay the cooler on and tighten the screws, everything becomes tensioned with no play.
@@bazlephrat Hmm, unfortunately I've built them a few times with plates and never experienced play, and went out to get another cooler and send this one back, as there were several amazon comments implying that there was a separate AM4 plate you had to contact manufacturer to get. The replacement I got had zero play once the brackets were on. I just couldn't trust this sink not to damage the board eventually if there was actual play left in it. But it's good to know it worked fine for you once you had fully tightened everything. I just wasn't willing to chance the big metal block crashing onto the GPU and potentially damaging both in that process.
I just installed an AM4 3700x into a Gigabyte B550M Aorus Pro mATX and experienced that play after installing the D, G, H onto the original backplate (I got this motherboard used and it had the AMD Wraith backplate and two plastic standoffs preinstalled). Between standoffs H and F, I found H's to have a coarser thread pitch on the bottom male end and it was identical to the coarse thread pitch on the fasteners on the plastic standoffs (so I used H. F uses the finer thread pitch on both male ends). Next, I installed part Gx4 and followed with part A (the cooler) and tightened up the two spring loaded retention fasteners and the play and wiggle disappeared. I lifted the entire motherboard up by the cooler and everything appears to be stable. It is disappointing that the fastener bags are not labeled.
with 12600k go with aio,if ur idle temps are 50C its fine as it is summer,if it is unstable at load or reacher above 80C buy aio,probably 240mm or 360mm

Hello i have a MSI tomahawk B450 max is this cooler compatibel this mainboard?
Smh...theres no clearance for ram sticks in both the casess
🤦🤦
RAM sucks? How it can work
Can it handle . 12600k .Indian sammar temprature 42° in room..
with 12600k go with aio,if ur idle temps are 50C its fine as it is summer,if it is unstable at load or reacher above 80C buy aio,probably 240mm or 360mm
buy a deepcool ak620 ..it can handle 12600k in all situations
cooler sucks, no clearance for my gaming ram
You bought a cooler incompatible with your motherboard. User error.
That’s on you 😭
Compatible with AM5 ?
how to chnage color?
Use motherboard brand related software. Make sure you have argb slot in your motherboard.
@@Jewelsonn I did, also have argb port but software didn't detecting fans
@@prateek9877 then check the cpu cooler brand software if they provide
My RGB isnt working
"Tool-free" except for, you know, a screwdriver.
ซื้อมาใส่ intel
ไม่ดีเลย แย่มาก
หลวม ไม่ยึดกับ mainboard ต้องส่งเคลม
