Dem Plates

[Kobolobob]

Hey there people!

 

Times are a changing and im slowly starting to think about jumping ship from Intel to AMD. I have also watercooled my computer with a kit i bought from EKWB a couple of years ago (just before Ryzen was released), included in said kit there are AMD mounting plates and whatnot. I have confirmed that the mountingplate that was included in the kit for AMD seem to correspond with the one that is compatible with AM4

 

 

But there is also the backplate thats included, that looks different than the one that everyone is using now

 

 

Is this one compatible with AM4 or do i need to buy the kit on EKWB site just to get that stupid backplate? https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-backplate-supremacy                (The one on the right)

 

Thank you for your time! I have been out of the computerpart game for a bit now and im just reorienting myself with whats what

Yes you will require the rectangular shapes backplate for AM4 based mounting.
