Many cooling systems manufacturers together calmed the future owners of motherboards and processors with Socket AM4, in most cases, their existing CPU coolers can be mounted on the new boards without the need to replace fixtures. Problems can arise only from the owners of very old coolers, but in this case, compatible fasteners will either be distributed free of charge or will be offered for a fee.
In this context, appeared an overview of the finished computer based on AMD A12-9800 processor (Bristol Ridge)Socket AM4 . First, colleagues studied the device of the processor socket:
DDR4 memory modules, too, has been given sufficient attention:
But photos of reinforcing plates, which are located on the back side of the motherboard for the CPU socket, give out a different arrangement of mounting holes in the motherboard.
If connector Socket FM2 + holes are located at the corners of an imaginary rectangle with sides 96 x 48 mm, then the Socket AM4 aspect ratio is different: 90 x 54 mm. As explained by Japanese colleagues, using cooling system strengthening plates require specific fasteners for Socket AM4. If the plate is not required, the change in distance between the holes may be offset in a regular transfer pins fastening the cooler frame. Related Products :
