System für AM4-Montage
I'm excited about upgrading to a Ryzen 7 3800X with the Gigabyte X570 Aorus Pro. My main worry is whether my 4-year-old dark rock 3 will fit. I don’t see the mounting system shown in the pictures of the X570 motherboard and it looks quite different from the brackets I have in the box. From my quick search, I noticed AMD has changed how their mounting system works. Could you confirm if the highlighted bracket is compatible with the X570 motherboards?
If the packaging doesn't mention AM4, it likely isn't. You might reach out to Be Quiets support for alternative mounting options. Having the receipt usually helps secure the part. I'm curious about the choice between a 3800X and a newer 5000 series CPU.
Luckily the model mentions AM4. What I mentioned was that I can't tell if the emphasized mounting bracket will fit here. I'll make sure to ask quietly. I'm also really interested in the new 5000 series. With customs and taxes, an extra 50 euros is added, and I don't have the budget for a 500 euro investment in the new Ryzen 7. Still, I'm choosing the 3800x because its price is dropping each week. The difference in price between the 5800x and 3800x is about 200 euros, which I don't think justifies the cost.
The current expected value for the 5800X remains stable. The 3800X experienced a surge at the end of September, likely due to the announcement of the 5000 series, but prices quickly stabilized after a week. I’m anticipating market trends and considering purchasing the 3800X in advance.
On AMD sockets, you generally need to take off the original black plastic clips. After that, fit the new mounting system provided with the CPU cooler and secure the cooler in place. Intel also requires a similar approach, though it lacks standard mounting brackets—only four holes are available.
