I upgraded my desktop to a Ryzen 7 5700X along with an Asus ROG Strix B550-F (WiFi) motherboard. When I went to re-install my Corsair H100i V2, I found, out, the hard way, that my existing AMD bracket did not work. After a bit of quick research I found out that the AM4 socket had a different screw spacing. At first I thought I might have to buy a new AIO cooler, but later discovered I could buy a new after market bracket.I had read several Amazon reviews that said some brackets were plastic, some were thin metal, and some of the metal brackets arrived twisted or bent. Additionally, some reviews said the included standoffs and thumb screws did not securely attach the cooler to the CPU die. I can safely say that I did not experience any of these things. This bracket arrived in 1-2 days (Prime delivery); the bracket was flat and not twisted or bent. Furthermore, when I attached the standoffs to the motherboard, the standoffs fit snugly. Finally when I attached the cold plate to the CPU die with the thumb screws, everything was snug. There was no wiggle, wobble, or “slop” between the cooler cold plate and the Ryzen CPU die.I think I paid ~$12 or ~$13 for this bracket. Are there other brackets advertised on Amazon for a dollar or two less? I believe the answer is yes, but I am happy with my purchase of this bracket. The bracket I received was a gun metal dark grey and blends in well with my motherboard and the pump head of my Corsair H100i V2.Sorry for the long review. Be well and happy computing.
