Kraken x53 & AM3+

Resident · 5 Nov 2020 at 10:43

So after a good innings my H100 has given up (issue points to broken impellers)

So I'm after a cheap AIO and come across the NZXT Kraken X53. It's within budget however I can't see to find a proper list of supported sockets.

Does anyone know if it will fit an AM3+ board.

Don't have the funds for a full upgrade atm so I need something to keep me going and fit future builds.

This review says it got am4 bracket with holes for am3.
