Really? Then i completely miss understood: my bad ... ooooops ....

@Cvrk that is one lousy way to install a cooler

Vidoe is in german but you can see the process:

fuck me. my car's engine is easier to assemble then this backplate/mounting bracket
german engineering in its finest....

The mounting kit for the NZXT Kracken works great but kind of scares me...
It works with the provided AMD backplate with screw in posts that are spaced with metal that directly contact the PCB.
It doesn't feel like the heat exchanger is making good contact with the cpu but it is.

Temps are great... Given I have a 65w CPU I never go over 58°c..
This is my first CPU that over clocks with an under volt but craps out over 1.370v

Really wish I'd of gotten a better motherboard for this CPU... I'm fairly certain I'm hitting the boards limits and not the CPUs... I'm also fairly certain that 2667 is the best memory speed I'm going to get..

All in all I am very happy with the platform.
Can't wait for the revision as well as Zen APU's
When I bought a 7850k apu I said I'd like to see how they perform with DDR4 because I felt there only thing holding them back was memory speed... But I never thought AMD would literally put 28nm APU's on AM4 with a slightly better imc... But I get it.. I bet a 3 core 6 thread Zen APU would probably kill a lot lower end gfx sales.

Will zen 2.0 and threadripper 2.0 chips work on current boards? Thinking about investing in one and if it's going to be replaced by early next year it's hard to know if I should or not.

As of today Pinnacle Ridge (Zen2) is reported to be in AM4 as well as Zen3...
But honestly they could change that... But probably not.

@Norton if it wasn't for the video you posted, yesterday and many days from now on would have been sad for me. The bequiet cooler costs so much, the Noctua would have been even more a financial burden. Not to mention that the build would have been finished, who knows when,
This is because of you

I think these extra grommets that i used are also a good solution. But you don't have to. If you look at the video at minute 10, they also mess up., realizing their mistake.

@Norton if it wasn't for your fast response, i would have shipped the bequiet cooler back,and w8 to get the money back...who knows when. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I read stuff on this forum all the time, sometimes you drop a like(thank you) for encouragement. For you, this ones worth all the praises. Maybe we will meet one day, i will treat you to a glass of lemonade ,or beer ...i don't really drink alcoholic beverages.

Finally grabbed Ryzen parts. Opted for the 1400 because I plan on grabbing the refresh and in Canada the difference was $100+.. Running at 3.8Ghz at 1.3 no problem on stock cooler, but plan on grabbing a GAMMAXX 300 next week for a cheapo replacement(love the cheap deepcool stuff). BF1 is now a locked 60.

Congrats what you upgrade from?
