Hi,

I'm a bit confused about this build...

I haven't got any documentation to say what is what, so hopefully these images will make sense ...

I've got this Hydro Cooler...

And it's come from this motherboard .... (Socket AM3B)

The cooler is to fit on this new Motherboard which is Socket AM4...

So, will the Hydro cooler just fit onto the new motherboard into the backing plate holes as it is? Because I have this AM4 socket converter bracket (but I'm not sure if I need it) ...

Thanks for any advice.
 
Hold it up and you will find that the screws don't quite line up. Hence the new plate having two sets of holes. You'll need to swap the new plate on.
