Has anyone with the Gigabyte B450 Aorus Pro wi-fi MOBO had any experience or problems with installing Noctua coolers on it?

When I add say, the Noctua  NH-U12S 55 CFM CPU Cooler to my part list in PCPartPicker, PCP says that "The Noctua NH-U12S 55 CFM CPU Cooler may require a separately available mounting adapter to fit the Gigabyte B450 AORUS PRO WIFI (rev. 1.0) ATX AM4 Motherboard".

 

If I were to get that cooler, just how likely is it that I'd actually need the mounting adapter and where could I order one?

If you get that cooler and the store you bought it from has a cooler they got in 2019 or later, it will come with the bracket you need.

 

PCPP warns you, just in case the store has a (significantly) old sample of this cooler in stock.

Good to know, thanks!
