Ryzen stock fan

[TristanG.Arellano]

I got a ryzen 7 1700 a little while ago and was immediately drawn to the stock cooler. AMD did a great job putting a ring on it?, speaking of I fell in love with the RGB ring and AMD logo on it and was wondering any suggestions on how to mount that to a tower  styled air cooler such as the deepcool gammaxx 400? I was about to use zip ties but realized those melt at about 75°C or ~150°f any suggestions on how to mount it? The mounting bar I got with the cooler does not fit.

The stock fan is too small to fit onto your aftermarket cooler.

I know it is and that is why I'm looking for alternative mounting options, I'm not doing any over clocks so having the smaller fan won't hurt me that much. Possibly 2-4°c

Get some stiff wire and use that instead of the zip ties?

Get one of those assortment bags of zip ties from a auto parts store. They will not melt unless your PC is on fire.

Rgb ring is not worth jank mounting. The small fan will look terrible. Get a Thermaltake Riing fan or the RGB ring fans from NZXT if you must.

The 1600 has the same cooler just no rgb.
