Scythe US put out an article on their website that most of their current coolers (including both versions of the Fuma 2) are compatible with AM5. I used to work for a company with a similar strategy: We were supposed to deny any news until it was official because the decisions in the management were held back from the support team right until the day the official statement went public. So we sent e-mails to customers that something doesn't work at 8:59 AM, the news went live at 9:00 AM, and the support team was officially informed many hours or days later so we had to check the public news in the meantime. So I would never blame the support team of a company.

This doesn't take AIOs into consideration, where there's even more confusion. Corsair have said that all their AM4 AIOs are compatible with the AM5 socket. NZXT on the other hand have said that while their X and Z AIO AM4 brackets fit on an AM5 socket, there are height differences that may result in gaps between the AIO and the CPU. As a result of this, they're supplying AM5-specific brackets to anyone that has an X|Z AIO who also purchased an AM5 motherboard. This isn't some Scythe scam as NZXT are burdening the expense and giving the AM5 brackets out for free. Their reasoning must be legitimate, otherwise, why go through the effort and cost. So, just because an AM4 cooler may fit on the AM5 socket, doesn't mean that the fit will be precise.

The thermalright AXP90 is actually compatible with the AM5 mobos with some nuances. The screws are actually small enough to pass through the screw holes of AM5's backplate if you are careful and patient enough.

Hyper 212 Evo (1st gen) on AM5 is possible I have managed to install my 10-year-old Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU cooler on my new AM5 motherboard. I already had the old AM4 X-shaped movable bracket (RR-AM4B-H212-S1) and I tried to install the cooler with that initially, but I realized that the screw slots on the motherboard were too low to hold the cooler under the bracket. All the comments on the internet said that it’s not possible to install an old cooler on a new AM5 board, but I still wanted to try my luck. So, I bought the AMD AM5 Mounting Kit (603007170-GP) from a local shop (it might be the last one in stock in my whole country), which is basically just 4 screws that lift the original screw slots about 1 cm on the motherboard. It cost no more than 2 USD. I installed the 4 screws first and then the cooler with the X-bracket after a little bit of trial and error. It finally fastened enough without any movement at all. I tried it with some games and stress tests, and the CPU (7500F) temperatures didn’t exceed 77 degrees Celsius..

Thank you for being very explicit about the retainer clips! I was searching all around for info about whether those brackets retainer clips were the same between AM4 and AM5 (needed to replace some I accidentally sold with the old MoBo)! Thanks again! Update: For anyone in my situation, needing to replace the cpu bracket clips above and below the cpu socket. I have an x670e and now can confirm from money wasted, that not all brackets are *not exactly* the same for us. The spacing between the screws on the frame don’t allow for the additional support built into a lot of stock AM4 CPU brackets clips. Not the part on the AIO, the part your AIO attaches to. I accidentally gave mine to a young person learning to build computers who needed spare parts and ordered on made for AM4 and while it fits in one direction, it doesn’t in the other and it’s the wrong way 😢. A lot of AM4 brackets seem to have a little flair of support. The AM5 bracket that came with my MoBo was slimmer and so now I’m trying to see if that kid still has my part because I can’t seem to find any online without it! This also makes me wonder if the two types of clip are actually different heights? Even if by millimeters I wonder if that would screw up your CPU? I’m replacing mine because despite everything else being ok, when I reused my Kraken on the AM5 CPU it died in two weeks. Coincidence?

@@Matt-gf4gd Well it is for the most part, one less forced cost. Everyone is already screaming about the cost of entry to the new platform. AMD's stock coolers, subpar or not, still work. The wraith stealth barely effects the performance of the 7600X. You could use the Prism on the higher models, and ECO mode isn't even that much of a hit. In my experience working in a computer repair shop, most 1st time builders did use them on AM4. Most of the people using computers aren't Us. The most popular after market coolers also work. Decent companies are offering free mounting kits. You just can't please everybody. I personally only use at least a NH-U12S on all the customs I built for people. I built 1 12600K ITX system that I tried to use the LH-9i-1700. It got hot enough to throttle, so I put the NH-D12L in there instead. It performed equally (mid 70s loaded and quiet) to the u12S I used on a 5900x in the same case. So the fact that AM5 isn't throttling at 95, makes the temp for them irrelevant. Intel would absolutely be throttling above 90c. Since that Intel build was primarily for Photoshop, I could've gotten away with the smaller cooler. It just didn't meet my standard. Especially when they might do some Premiere.

You can use that block with the stock backplate provided by AM4 motherboards or use their provided “custom” one. The only difference is the custom one is a) machined nicer and b) is a thicker gauge of aluminum. So the claim that EVERY AM4 cooler with custom backplates is incompatible with AM5 is WRONG.

Subscribing you brother.. first time here and I liked your video so much. even though I m not going to build am5 computer right now but the way you explain things (not just talk) is what I really liked. Keep doing it. Thanks 🙏

great video. question is the am5 retention bracket an issue like intel's Z690 retention bracket?

LOL well this settled it for me. Black Rock just uses a clip which takes 2 seconds to install versus replacing backplates.

Hello, congratulations for your very useful video. Just one question: what material is the mat you used for assembly made of? I would like to buy one like yours, can you suggest the model and where to buy it online? thank you so much.

Corsair fucked me over, they said it was am5 compatible water cooler, they gave me am4 plates that's supposed to hold it in, the holes aren't even aligned at all

5:00 this is wrong, the thermalright and blackridge can thread through the holes in the backplate and mount just fine for am5.

I´d rather AMD not keep AM4 cooler compatibility and instead make the IHS the right size......

What is this weird expectation everyone has that a company should offer a free upgrade kit? Sure, some companies can and do go out of their way to offer that, but it costs them in development, production and shipping. I agree we should commend Arctic/Noctua for going the extra mile for customers, but the companies that choose not to do that should in no way be under fire. They never claimed that this product you bought will work for a different platform. What a bunch of entitled people, seriously.

This is fucking insanity with coolers. AMD fucked up with it hard. I am still trying to find the right cooler fro ryzen r5 7600x. Thank you for the video. It was highly demanded.

You obviously can't expect a cooler company to just give you new parts to make your old cooler fit... but if they want you to buy a whole new cooler, and they don't offer to sell you some kind of adapter kit, then you know that you should never buy anything from that company ever again.

Yep the cooler master 212 is not am5 compatible, only with an upgrade kit, which is out of stock. BAckplate is glued on on motherboards, if it would be simply removable the cooler could be installed
