Remember, Scythe global policy is to NOT provide mounting kits for free. For example, if a customer bought a FUMA 2 today, the customer would have to pay extra for an LGA1700 kit tomorrow and again for any future mounting hardware (eg. AM5).

Most major CPU cooler makers (like Arctic Cooling and Noctua) will support customers and supply a mounting kit for no additional charge.

It is important that we all are well informed in order to make the correct purchase decisions in the future. Peace to everyone and stay safe.
