Alphacool coolers and socket AM5

[Imartal]

Hi,

can somebody answer me, if AiO Alphacool Eisbaer Pro Aurora 360 CPU will be compatible with new AM5? Is it already known?
If not yet, when will be published information about compatibility of alphacool coolers for AM5?

Thanks for answer,

Best regards

Hi, of course we can't confirm compatibility from our side yet. It can be assumed that we will only be able to provide information on this shortly before the launch of the socket.

As AMD is close to introducing the AM5 socket and your recent statement:

Alphacool Confirms that all its CPU Coolers are AMD Socket AM5 Compatible

Just in time for the launch of the new AMD processors in September 2022, we can announce that all CPU coolers and All-in-One solutions in the Alphacool product range are compatible with AMD's AM5 socket. The required mounting kit is included with all coolers and AIOs and enables the new Ryzen...

What does it exactly mean:
1. All old(er) and new coolers will fit AM5 or
2. only new/current purchased coolers will fit AM5

Looking specifically to the Eisbaer Aurora 280 CPU it states only compatibility up to AM4

TIA

Hi @Jack007

Thread 'All Alphacool CPU Cooler & AIOs are AM5 ready!' https://forum.alphacool.com/threads/all-alphacool-cpu-cooler-aios-are-am5-ready.3318/

I hope that answers your question. With the old post, they might not have known for sure.

All coolers that have actually an AM4 mounting set are compatible to AM5. You have to use the same mounting set, only without the backplate. Until the official launch of AM5, we will still revise the compatibility lists so that this will be more obvious.
