Bitspower Releases Socket AM5 Compatibility Kit for its Water Blocks

[btarunr]

Bitspower, one of the world's leading suppliers of water-cooling equipment for performance computers, today launched the Bitspower AM5 kit which can transform AMD-based Bitspower CPU water blocks into an AM5-compatible product. More and more setups used by gamers, streamers, and creators will harness AMD's new AM5 platform, which provides native support for up to 170 W—meaning there's power to do more, play more, and create more than ever before. However, with this increased power comes higher temperatures.

Fortunately, AMD has ensured that existing AM4 cooling solutions can be supported with their newest motherboards, with the product's height and port distance being managed in a 7 mm increment. With the new AM5 kit, Bitspower's current range of AMD CPU blocks can directly migrate to AM5 socket motherboards. The company's latest generation CPU water blocks, such as the M Pro Water Blocks, are optimized for cooling Ryzen 7000-series CPUs, allowing users to take that already-powerful processor to new heights.



AM5 motherboards have an integrated CPU socket backplate with #UNC 6-32 threads, which requires a new mounting system. This CPU-socket backplate is best kept untouched since removing it also means tinkering with the CPU loading mechanism and exposing the socket pins. Bitspower's AM5 kit is a set of screws that are integrated into the water block and screwed into the stock backplate of the motherboard. Additionally, the kit works with all-in-one units and tower fans.

I would really love my next rig to be a fully custom water loop one. Watched several videos over the years, I think I could do it.

Yes not a big deal but expensive
I just started buying 2hand rad (280mm), cpu/gpu water block + pump/res (D5/ ek 250ml)
Take care about cryofuel, mixed water and additives it can damage your components, and always buy full copper or full aluminium not both (!)
You can try for 24/48h your loop outside your pc to test any leaks

Did it recently, go for it, its pricey but man is it quiet

Care to share a picture of the inside of your PC completely done? Or do you have one posted already in another thread? Would be neat to see it.

I felt exactly the same way; kept buying Swiftech expandable AIO units, adding another radiator, different water block etc. Then just figured I'd go for it - one full custom hard-tube loop.

You can do it!

I will make a video and post some photos for my build

Do it, it's extremely worth it and satisfying once you finish it!

I don't get it, doesn't AM4 top out on air? GPUs on the other hand typically have more headroom and ship with (relatively) tiny fans.
Any plans to WC your GPU too?

I had a pretty good air setup prior and with PBO on things got a bit toasty, up in the 80's. Now I can achieve all core clocks of 4.85 GHz and Temps are about 60°c at full load. So for me it was an improvement. Also, much quieter too.

As far as GPU I just got it two days ago so making sure it's good and no issues arise before I throw it into the mix. But it's going to go into a new case/build, maybe even with a new AM5 setup in the next few months. Dual loop system so things stay nice and cool. I enjoy doing these builds so even if I maybe didn't need it, I like to do it anyways.

I run 4.4Ghz all core with 4.6Ghz boost 70C tops, mind you thats with a 3070 ti in the loop on a 360mm rad. Fan curve never goes above 60%
