so im planning on buying a r5 1600 and i really want the dark rock 3 (not pro) because it does a good job and look very good plus im buildint in a micro atx so its not too big... my only issue is that it tell me (on pcpartpicker) that it is incomptatible with r5 1600 and am4 mobo BUT on their website its written that they can send me for free the am4 installation kit...

It is but you'll need to order the proper mounting equipment from be quiet. Also it needs to be mounted horizontally. I think bitwit used it in a recent ryzen 5 build (pc of the month april?)

I imagine its still rare to find any cooler besides stock which would support AM4 directly from the box. But most mainstream manufacturers have this free upgrade option. All you need to do is to provide proof of purchase. Of both cooler and CPU.
