EVGA CLC 280mm - AM4 Compatability

SiDeards73 · 14 Feb 2017 at 18:48

Basically trying to get the attention of the EVGA Reps on this board.

Im interested in one of these, they are reportedly available from 24th Feb and the marketing stuff says AM4 bracket coming soon.

With the imminent release of AM4 Motherboards and RyZen CPU's, does anyone know when OCUK will have these in stock and how we go about getting an AM4 bracket for one?

Does anyone else have any news on these?

Emailed a query to EVGA Support, Bracket wont be in the box at release but can be requested once Ryzen is released via their website, guessing the normal receipt for either CPU or AIO should suffice.

I bought my EVGA CLC 280mm more than a week ago and still there was no AM4 bracket included. Contacted EVGA (US) and they said they would contact EVGA (EU) to ship one to me during this week. Almost a week later and still waiting so basically all build on hold because of one small bit that should be included in the box in the first place. Sometimes I really don't understand people.

They're all Asetek coolers so any Asetek bracket should do the trick. For the sake of £4 you might be better off just buying one.

Do you have any link or know anybody who tried it? Someone else said they tried a Corsair one and it worked but I can't find any pictures or videos of people doing that. Don't want to mess up with the cooler and loose the warranty on it. According to this post, the bracket looks nothing like the Asetek/Corsair one - https://twitter.com/evga_jacobf/status/834526855138996224

I am beyond fed up and utterly p***** off at Evga for their unbelievably rubbish support. Its been three weeks now and no sign of my bracket, my build will be low-end by the time I finish it.

My waiting is finally over. Yesterday I received two AM4 brackets. It took 27 days to receive one from EVGA (the shiny one) and only 2 days to receive the Corsair one from OcUK but they coincidentally arrived on the same day. They are exactly the same which confirms other people's claims that they are all compatible, no matter what make is printed on the cooler shroud. The reason I haven't ordered the Corsair one earlier is that on EVGA's page their bracket was looking different (see my previous post). So for all of you having a similar problem, these are all compatible no matter if you buy a NZXT or a Corsair make.
