Ok so there's a post in the news section that AM4 will be different from AM3 even tho it was expected to be the same as AM3. Since I just bought a NZXT Kraken X62 that I will be getting in the new year I'm just wondering am I now SOL or is there normally a way to get new mounting hardware for the Asetek AIO coolers?

I spend too much on my PC. Then I spend even more on my Sim Rig. Damn, this stuff's expensive.

NZXT will probably sell some updated mounting hardware (Noctua will send you free mounting hardware for new sockets -- or at least they used to), and there's also a chance you can rig something up since it doesn't look too different.

Ryzen looks really promising. NZXT should include new mouting mechanisms for new cpu. It's not like you are getting a cooler from the 90's where they don't care at all
