Not sure what's going on with EK. A bit of controversy surrounding the company, and the store I've historically and conveniently bought lots of EK components from hasn't had even the simplest of fittings in stock for many weeks now.

Currently have an older Velocity block for AM4 and managed to get hold of the AM5 UNC Standoffs so I could use the block when I upgrade in the future.
Was a struggle to get, out of stock everywhere. But the cheapest option to reuse what I already own.

Looking at the manual for this,
DISCLAIMER: This CPU block is pre-configured for the Intel LGA-1700/1851 socket. For AMD AM5, please refer to the
configuration instructions.


Would be interesting to see the performance on AM5. Though given EK currently. I would likely change to someone else unless this does something outstanding.
