**AM4 COMPATIBLE COOLERS**

[Robbie_G]

Hi,

With the launch of the Ryzen CPU’s many of the cooler manufacturers have been trying to get the new mounting hardware ready and included in any new batches of coolers. Due to the lack of time available some manufacturers were unable to add them to any products so they will take time to trickle through to stock but they have already announced that they will send out mounting hardware when you provide them with proof of purchase of the cooler and the Ryzen CPU. I will try and keep this list as up to date as possible when we get more information over the next week.

Corsair and NZXT are trying to get the brackets out quickly but it is looking like MID-March I will keep you posted.

Do you know what Alpenföhn's plan is for their other high end coolers?

I'm eyeing the Alpenföhn Olymp Twin Tower, but it's not on your list and they don't have a contact to get sent a bracket like the other 4 companies?

Hi,

They are working on a bracket but it could be mid march to end of March before we have it. Once I get a more accurate date I will post in here.

 

[Robbie_G]

The cooler master bracket is free... but the shipping is €7.50 - not sure if I should buy it or just buy a better cooler. It's only a hyper 212 evo.

I am trying to get hold of some brackets for the Evo so hopefully they will be here next week if you want to hold off. Our shipping will be about £2.50 i think but free to forum members who hit the criteria.

 

[Robbie_G]

Are you able to confirm that the new CrossHair has mounts for AM3 coolers? This isn't clarified anywhere in the Web.

Yes it does.

 

[Robbie_G]

Do any other AM4 boards support this?

I think this is the only one.

 

[Robbie_G]

Hi,

We are expecting brackets mid march- end of march for asetek coolers. We are trying get some earlier but may not happen so quick. I will let people know as soon as I can get more detail.

I'm hoping for more updates next week from most manufacturers.

 

[Robbie_G]

Hi,

I will speak to them tomorrow but at the moment i believe they will be available around the 15th. Postage may need to be paid when sending brackets out but we will work this out over the next few days.

 

[Robbie_G]

Hi,

Corsair and NZXT brackets looking like 3rd Week In March Sorry Guys best to get your requests in with the manufacturers now as we will only have limited stock at Overclockers.

Also another bracket update:

Air cooler / AIO cooler brackets available currently at Overclockers UK. Limited Stock

Bequiet air Cooler brackets available here
Phanteks air cooler brackets available here
EK Predator AIO brackets available here
Noctua Brackets 10 units of each arriving soon - Order here

 

[Robbie_G]

Hi,

We will have stock of the bracket around the 15th but they will only be sending a small amount to us and the rest will be shipped direct from the warehouse in the Netherlands. NZXT have even setup a special option on the product on there website so you can request one. NZXT have told me to tell you guys to request a bracket from here - https://www.nzxt.com/am4-bracket. I think they want resellers to be the official source however we will have stock later than them so always worth requesting from NZXT first. I will update the plan as soon as we get the brackets.

 

[Robbie_G]

Thanks, byt have they told their CS people? They (CS) are saying to go to your retailer even though I requested one from them. It seems a bit messy/disorganised. Did they not know about the need for this weeks ago and prepare? Apparently not.

I know this is annoying and I have no explanation why they were not able to produce brackets until now and others already have the brackets. This hurts sales for me so I am eager to get hold of them in stock to help people out. Not sure what NZXT are playing at but I had this from NZXT official:

"We should be sending reasonable amount of spares to OCUK for you to carry out service for end users - spares should be arriving you guys around 3rd week of March.

We will also suggest end users might consider to contact NZXT via ticketing service that we will send brackets from our DE team. This is a back-up solution from NZXT. Bracket should be aimed to start to supply around 3rd week of March."

I'm hoping a reasonable amount is not 20 units.

 

[Robbie_G]

Hi, Sorry for the delayed response from me. I have spoken to Alpenfohn and they have said that that the brackets will be between 2-3 weeks away. At the moment they have not made it clear which coolers will have the brackets available however I do know for sure the following will have:

Matterhorn, Brocken 2 and the ECO

Again as soon as I get conformation I will update you guys.

Also another update is Noctua have released some coolers for ryzen and are available now here

 

[Robbie_G]

Are there brackets for?

• OcUK Techlabs Extreme 240mm Hydro CPU Cooler

Thanks

Hi Not at the moment we are hoping they will be here by Next week sorry.

 

[Robbie_G]

Hi,

I have chased this up again as he has said he is not 100% sure. He said that the bracket should fit but would like to make certain.

 

[Robbie_G]

Hi,

I believe they have had some production problems so going to be delayed until Early April from what I have been told.

 

[Robbie_G]

Thanks for chasing, decided to go with a new Noctua cooler as it support AM4 now.

Hi,

Fair enough. They still have not got back to me either. The Noctua coolers are pretty good anyway.

 

[Robbie_G]

Hi,

The brackets are available here - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/detail/index/sArticle/66243

 

[Robbie_G]

Cryorig AM4 brackets are now available for all air coolers.

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/air-cooling/coolers/cpu?ckSuppliers=726&sSort=1&ckTab=0

 

[Robbie_G]

Hi,

Please contact our sales team and they will send one out. Due to an issue with our software we are unable to add it as an option now as it was still showing the product as in stock when it was not. The sales team will happily send you one out.

 

[Robbie_G]

I will let phanteks know your concern but I have a strong feeling that they will not change the design due to the manufacturing costs but no harm in trying.

Also for everyone else the NZXT Kraken X62 is now AM4 compatible out of the box.

[Robbie_G]

Hi,

I believe that the bracket does not fit the K2 sorry. It will only fit the current Brocken series coolers this is mainly due to the design of the heatpipes. As the cooler is EOL I do not think they will be releasing a bracket.
