With the new generation of AMD processors comes a new CPU socket type, AM5. Unfortunately, this new socket has changed the mounting height and our previous AMD brackets do not safely support it. Soon, NZXT will begin offering a new bracket to safely support the new AM5 socket for all our cooling products. Even though the AM4 bracket will fit, NZXT recommends using the new AM5 bracket to prevent possible damage to your components.
NZXT will begin taking in requests for the brackets in early to mid-September. We expect that the AM5 brackets will be available to ship at the end of September. For any customer looking to get this bracket, please make sure you keep a copy of the following:
- Kraken Cooler Proof of Purchase
- Kraken Serial Number
- AM5 Motherboard Proof of Purchase
------------------------------UPDATE September 19, 2022-----------------------------
You may now request brackets HERE <------
*ONLY KRAKEN X AND Z MODELS REQUIRE THE NEW AM5 BRACKET. ALL M22, KRAKEN 120S, AND H1 COOLERS WILL NOT NEED THE NEW BRACKET
