SO!

 

I won auction on ebay. I bought beQuiet Dark Rock Pro TR4 for... £20. With mounting kit + 2 fans. The problem is, I got AM4 mobo with 1700x on it. And it gets me thinking...

 

Did anyone tried to mount TR4 cooler on AM4? Is it even possible? Should I go with the flow and just mash it together, or it's not worth it? 

Couldn't find any info on the internets, so maybe anyone else tried that before?

 

Technically, from what I see, only the heat plate is bigger, and I think it could be possible...

Now that you have the cooler, why not try it?

 

Tip: it wont work. Arctic Freezer 33 TR fits both and it comes with an adapter to match the TR4 frame that comes with the cooler to AM4 socket mounts

you would need to get the AM4 mounts so maybe contact be quiet and tell them you need AM4 mounts for your used dark rock pro 4. I believe they will sell some to you

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

I mean... I can just try to make it myself. As soon as I can drill some holes, it might be done.

1) that's how it related to AM4 stock cooler (so screw holes does not match)

2) BUT if I cut that hole in half, the one on bottom right (so it will be just half of it, kinda, you know what I mean)

3) AND screw through that bar so it will make a hole for mounting...

4) AND screw a new hole for that bar for mounting on the bottom, to lift it a bit higher (towards center)...

5) It will still have a lot of slack to actually work.

As it is 2:16 at night right now here in UK, I'll wait till 7 AM and make sure to document everything.

 

If not, I'll stick to my Noctua DH14. But I actually like that massive cooler. I want it in my Fractal R6. 

 

P.S. I did a thing.
