(N64 Classic „Blast Corps) EK Reveals AM5 Compatibility Roadmap for All CPU Cooling Products

EK, the market leader in high-end water cooling for PC products, wishes to inform existing and future customers regarding the compatibility of our existing cooling solutions with the highly anticipated AMD Socket AM5 platform. Compared to Socket AM4, the backplate mounting hole pattern is still 54 x 90 mm and uses UNC 6-32 Fäden, but the AM5 motherboards now have an integrated CPU-socket backplate. The stock backplate is best kept untouched since removing it also means fiddling with the CPU loading mechanism and exposing the socket pins. To avoid such risks, some EK products need to be updated, aber keine Angst, as compatibility is handled for all existing EK products.
