I"ve read some news about it, but I want to confirm. Is AM4 going to use 90x54mm mounting holes? I want to make a batch of CPU brackets and backplates and I want it to be compatibile with new socket.

 

Thanks

Yes I just measured my AM4 Board here and it's exatly 90 x 54 mm

Thanks, really appreciate that.

how will be fixed with LN2 pots? I have old one from Sf3d ...

No idea how it will be handled by pot manufacturers. If you need something let me know.

Hope they release new mounting kits (backplate + top mount) compatible with AM4...

me too, if not...I will be confused. Its old POT, but still Im happy with it. It has issue with full pot -190C in load (wprime1024/Cinebench) at FX-8000 series, but others chips are doable

Does anyone know the exact reason why they changed it?

Leaving out non-certified coolers out of the game?

 

The change is not that significant, just the right millimeters to make the old brackets incompatible without modding.

I am ready. Contact bartx if this tickles your fancy
