AM3 to AM4 hyper 212

[RyomaSJibenG]

Hey guys

So i got my hands on these already

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/RyomaSJibenG/saved/vnzBcf

 

and was about to start building.

 

 

Thing is back in 2015, i bought a cpu cooler Hyper 212x. It serves me well and still using it now.

Today, I was looking at the hyper 212x box and its manual and i realize it doesn't say AM4 in it (duhh AM4 doesn't exist yet).

 

1. Will it fit the AM4 slot by default?

2. or do i need to get https://store.coolermaster.com/us/hyper-212-evo-acessories-kit This in order for it to work?

3. Any other cheap Air cooler alternative?

 

If possible i really would love to just re-use the hyper 212x because i don't feel like buying another cooler since you know, i already have one

Unfortunately you'll need a kit to reuse it, the backplate is a different size to the one you'll have for the old am3. 

 

This is unless you have one of the older lever mount 212's

Sell it with your old parts?

 

Whats your budget for new cooler? And also case? If you are looking for another budget cooler, pretty much all of them are similar or better than 212.

Case is Cooler Master 690 III

Since they pretty much more or less the same, I prefer decent one that is easier to install. Hate to say but Hyper 212 definitely a pain in the butt to install
