I just installed the Ryzen 5950x. It's a Beast! CPU prices are dropping on the AM4 platform - amzn.to/3LQ6XRg

[@beingofnatureshadow]

bless you most people skip over this and I was starting to worry that I was missing some baackplate screws- I just had to press a little harder so the screws would catch! thank ya!

[@ScottsPC]

Glad to hear the video helped some! Thanks for this comment and the sub! ⚡️ Good luck to you my friend! ⚡️

[@dopeshi.7910]

thanks man had the same problem i was worried for a second

[@quakker2110]

Same

[@gnt.no_1]

welp im still stuck with the screws, im apllying pressure on them like crazy, they wont mo e a bit

[@JamBread-ep7wr]

​@@gnt.no_1I'm having the same issue, no idea on what to do

[@Waffellover8656]

This was a nightmare to install

[@Pleasekillme12369]

How lol? Wait until you get into aoi coolers 😂

[@omarashraf9056]

Very important note when installing the stock cpu fan: there is only one way to install it which is by applying pressure on the back plate of the mother board ( black metal plate found behind the motherboard) then start screwing and applying pressure starting from top right corner then bottom left and so on. Do not screw one screw at once try equally distribute it. thank me later 😉

[@viroxin1260]

Holy shit thank you so much. I was going crazy from not knowing why the screws wouldn't go in

[@arksurvivaldevolved1382]

I love you

[@luneri9168]

You're the best dude lmao, I was wondering why only one side was not being able to be tightened

[@sheenfromtf2]

Thank you so much dude. This stumped me and my brother until we looked in the coments and saw yours. Real life saver thank you

[@Philmore.]

@@viroxin1260 they have to sorta reach out to the holes

[@ShortStoriesbyMatt]

One of the most straightforward and informative installs. Thank you for the simplicity and explanation in terms we all can get. Bravo!

[@garchomp3136]

Absolutely brilliant from you. I was struggling to engage all the screws for my cooler. You saying to engage a couple of threads in each screw before fully tightening everything was a life saver. Thank you.

[@bocconom]

I love how straight forward you are and right to the point. Now it has been years since I built a system and this was a great refresher. Nice job.

[@justonkehr9050]

thank you so much! I was worried pressing down on the screws would be bad but this totally helped and it made me feel a bit better about my first build!

[@A4Paper]

Great video, will definitely refer to this later on, after reading comments I feel very lucky to have access to the backplate through my case back panel

[@ScottsPC]

Exactly! Easy access to the back plate saves a ton of time and hassle.

[@OldSnake001]

What a great video!!! Really helped with my wife's new build as it didn't have the latch CPU fan like the Ryzen 9 3900X, and the instructions on the MOBO manual didn't have instructions.

[@desktorp]

old timer here.. probably building my 13th or 14th computer, but it's been a long time and haven't dealt with am4 at all, so this helped to confirm my assumption that the brackets needed to come off. good, straightforward, helpful video. thanks!

[@ngwoo]

The last time I built a PC it was with a third-generation Intel i5 CPU. Those stock coolers were absolutely garbage - crappy plastic pushpins that basically disintegrate themselves if you ever need to take the cooler off. These Ryzen coolers are a godsend compared to those, and I love that a backplate is standard hardware instead of something reserved for aftermarket coolers. Good stuff, and great guide.

[@ScottsPC]

Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment!

[@lexidecimal9941]

Thanks for this. Super simple fast and helpful. Really wanted to hear about how tight to make the screws... noted can't overnighten. 👊😓👍

Thank you for the help! Great channel!

[@Death_Metal_Head]

I couldn’t figure out why the wraith wasn’t screwing in and I hadn’t realized the back plate came off! Lol. Thanks!!

[@sodaholic4015]

Hi what do I do if I can't remove the two plastic clips? The screws are far too tight and don't budge, and I'm afraid of applying more pressure in case I damage the motherboard

[@ednallanos9331]

I’ve seen this process so many times for how many pc build I’ve seen and my coolers wasn’t going in until I noticed my motherboard backplate actually fell in the back of my case I was so worried but I just put it back in place and easy sailing from there

[@ScottsPC]

Live and Learn!!! Thanks for sharing!😎😂😂😎

[@ednallanos9331]

Couldn’t agree more

[@Penguinnoly]

great video, no filler

[@Jarthalamew]

Thanks man, I just installed my stock cooler and was worried I did it wrong.

[@mszastro]

Can I install the amd cooler in a micro atx board or is the cooler too big

[@tsasar1534]

I’m so mad I didint see this video earlier I got this cpu and was gonna wait until Tmr to get thermal paste from the store because I didn’t know it comes with thermal paste already on it when it’s new thank you for the video😂

[@joerobertson5627]

I have the cpu installed. Now the back plate is fully unattached from the mainboard. do we use this or does the 4 cooler pins/screws just snap in the backplate holes?

[@plasma8321]

How do you hold the back plate in when the mobo is in the case?

[@Hymandois]

Could the cpu possibly be damaged if I put too much pressure? I bought a ryzen and with it came this cooler but its nearly annoying to put the springlocked screws down

[@eddiesurfah5525]

Legend. Thanks

[@plasma8321]

how do you know which direction you need to place the fan?

[@necocolein3332]

is there a plastic i need to remove on the thermal paste?

[@titustech337]

Do you need the backplate for the default cooler?

[@iRedFox]

What a kind man

[@Digmen1]

Does it matter which way round the cooler is installed? And the cooler fan can it only plug in one way?

[@LetGoMyLegosTyler]

help my screws aren't going up or down on the heatsink

[@challkske]

Thanks very helpful👍

[@DexDZNS]

The screws don’t go in at all what am I suppose to do

[@BrickPB]

What do I do with the backplate?

[@n1ckname534]

Im having a trouble right now my cpu cooler doesnt go down it has springs

[@magsmccusker5760]

I dont know if my cooler is broke but I dont have any of four things on the corners I only have two 1 on the top and 1 on the bottom

[@gtaitbiz7787]

can the AM3 100W cooler with the spring slip work here?

[@Deadscout9]

Thanks!

[@justadude88]

So what do I do if i am installing it in the case? Last time I had my brother help me but this time I have to do it alone.

[@werby453]

Hi, I did the exact same thing but the RGB won't turn on what can I do to turn it on

[@hankpns]

Thanks worked perfectly

[@chadthyimpaler9345]

Does it matter which way I plug the fan in my mother board doesn’t have that plastic catch I guess that yours had

[@areox4520]

what did you do to hold in the backplate while you did it? just wondering whether i should get someone else to hold it in since mines in the case too

[@ScottsPC]

In this video I had the motherboard on top of the motherboard box so no issues. But yes, having a friend or family around always help when you need an extra set of hands when your in your tower. Good luck to you and thanks for the question!

[@gordospeti]

Thanx for the tutorial! You have helped me a lot, but there is one thing I am still confused about: what motherboard to choose? On the market there are motherboards on which Wraith Stealth can not be installed without blocking the nearest memory slot. The best would be to go for a micro ATX motherboard with 2 mem slots. Should I choose an ATX one instead? Thanx!

[@shikadi5124]

I was trying to screw it in and it would not go in what should I do?

[@zez3208]

I heard the stock cooler has a really sticky thermal paste?

[@rays_433]

Guys please help my screws of the fan won't install, it's in a perfect place the tip of it moves but the pointy tip won't move please help

[@mattikemppinen6750]

thanks, was wondering about the brackets on the MB around the cpu slot, figured they had to be for some other kind of cooler but had to make sure from a video :D

Thx mate, i was going to spend extra 30bucks for a new fan. You save me

[@sageofthetiger4166]

Lol the backplate fell off on mine and didn't figure it out until I saw this video thx so much

[@Bennjammin]

Thanks I was wondering how it screwed in with no threads on the board. The wraith looks similar to the OEM Intel coolers in HP or Dells in the past.

[@dommevida_8721]

I somehow cannot get my old cooler of my cpu. The back plate already fell out but somehow the fan is not getting off and I cannot untie the screws anymore. Can somebody help?

[@boomerreflex]

Thanks

[@ErickBRSAO]

thx homie

[@TwoForOneGaming]

Thanks for the Video. I really had problems getting the screws in, it just did not wanna connect with the backplate. It felt so wrong using that much force.

[@Rex-om4dt]

I tried flipping it around and it still does it

[@larry5872]

When you turn it on, and look down from the top, which direction is the fan moving? clockwise or the other way? Is the fan sucking hot air up or pushing cold air down?please help thanks.

[@ScottsPC]

The fan is pushing air towards the cpu....

I know this a one year old video, but is it possible to install a Ryzen 5 3600 onto the b350m bazooka is it compatible or not if so do I have to do a BIOS update.

[@ScottsPC]

I would go to pcpartpicker.com and enter your build to see if compatible for a second opinion... I don't know off the top of my head.

[@hochhasd1]

It looked like you were applt thermal paste to the cpu when you already had it preapplied on the cooler.

[@alynx424]

Your videos are simple and entertaining which I really like. I have one question though why do you have only amd cpus

[@goldpluto]

im building my pc as im typing this and for some reason the screw wont go down and i have no idea why can someone help?

[@HarbringerSalami]

What if I lifted it then placed it again with the smudgy thermal paste, is it okay? Or should I replace the thermal paste

[@ScottsPC]

My advice... When in doubt replace the thermal paste unless you have multiple experiences in taking on/off cpu air coolers... Better safe than sorry... Good luck to you! ⚡️

How hard do you have to push to get the cooler screws in?

planning to upgrade me 3600 to a 5700x, can i remove just the wraith stealth without taking out my entire motherboard and everything? i do not have access to the backplate in my case it will sit on it's own right?

[@rusudan9631]

@@Kryst1x hopefully the backplate has no place to go, it's probably stuck between mobo and side case panel and i don't like to tamper with hardware even tho i made my own PC's for almost 20 years now i like to avoid it if possible. my mobo supports it but i will have to do a bios update which is also smth i do not like to do as once i did that and my pc would not boot not even into bios but luckly it was in warranty and they fixed it. i'd upgrade in an instant if i knew that there's no potential issues

[@iconicik4120]

well im taking out the gpu and the cpu with the cooler(of a 5600g prebuilt for 600) into a new one just mainly for the better airflow and looks too but it makes is possible for a high end gpu in the future for me, didn't see much videos on this part for it. and my parts are coming in Thursday the main one i was worried about was the mobo and being compatible with my cpu, luckily i found one that did say 5000 series compatible and has bios flashback so really i hope i don't brick it but thank you for showing this step
